Ahead of her high-profile opening slot on System of a Down‘s upcoming summer stadium tour, nu-gaze rising star Wisp has released her debut album, If Not Winter.
The LP features the previously released singles “Breathe onto me,” “Save me now,” “Sword” and “Get back to me,” and showcases Wisp’s hazy, sultry and surreal sound, which pulls from major influences including Deftones and Slowdive. If Not Winter arrived today (August 1st) accompanied by a new music video for standout cut “Black swan.” You can watch that visual above and stream the full album via YouTube below.
“If Not Winter is a look into my diary entries and all of my childhood dreams,” Wisp commented of her debut album. “Evoking feelings of limerence, nostalgia, infatuation to the highest levels — it’s a vulnerable reflection of my most inner thoughts and memories I wanted to eternize, to look back on, and for everyone else to relate and find meaning in.”
Next up for Wisp, she’ll embark on her biggest tour yet, starting August 22nd in Washington, D.C. Check out her 2025 itinerary below.
