Following a string of EPs and opening slots for Slowdive, Whirr, Panchiko and more, rising shoegaze artist Wisp has now announced her debut album, If Not Winter, which is out August 1 via Interscope.
The album includes recent singles “Sword” and “Get Back to Me” and the just-released “Save Me Now,” which Wisp says “represents the desperation for attention, sometimes mistaken as love, when you are in a lonely and vulnerable place. It’s about being infatuated with the idea of a savior that blindly leads you to making sacrifices on your wellbeing.” You can watch the visualizer for the song below.
Wisp has also announced a fall headline tour that starts September 6 in Toronto, which is right after she wraps up supporting System Of A Down and Korn and includes stops in Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Austin and more. Tickets for all just-announced shows go on sale Friday, June 27 at 10 AM local time.
Wisp has added an NYC headline show to the tour, playing Webster Hall on August 25 with Dream, Ivory and aldn. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, June 27 at 10 AM. That show is just ahead of opening for System of a Down and Korn at NJ’s MetLife Stadium on August 27 & 28. All dates are listed below.
Wisp also features on the upcoming 10th anniversary edition of Citizen’s Everybody is Going to Heaven (preorder our exclusive blood red variant).
