The 19-year-old shoegaze artist on the tip of everyone’s tongue, Wisp, shares the new music video for ‘Pandora’, the title track of her critically-acclaimed debut EP. WATCH HERE + LISTEN TO EP HERE.

Wisp says, “The music video for Pandora showcases an angel in the snow, who meets her lover but soon after spending time together, meets her demise. The scene of the angel wings being torn out of her back represent betrayal, and the fast pacing of the love scenes show she was vulnerable and quick to trust.” The  video follows a stream of local support across triple j, FBi Radio, 2SER and more praising Wisp’s ability to cultivate a steady cult following.

Following her breakout single ‘Your face‘ that rocketed into view last summer – amassing tens of millions of streams and attracting a cult fanbase eager to parse out Wisp’s mysterious social media presence – and the follow-ups that squashed any question of one-hit-wonderdom, ‘Once then we’ll be free‘, ‘See you soon‘ and ‘Enough for you‘, the first complete project Pandora perfectly inhabits every dark corner and patch of light associated with the shoegaze genre. Inspired by the likes of Whirr and Deftones, Wisp has crafted a distinct and sophisticated sound that strives to realise the expansive possibilities of rock music.

For her previous singles, Wisp graced the global cover of Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist, reached hundreds of millions of streams across all platforms, was named an artist to watch by NYLON, Pigeons & Planes,  Spotify Lorem Artist To Watch, Amazon Breakthrough Artists, Consequence Artist of the Month, and YouTube Music Artist On The Rise Trending, and played her live debut in Los Angeles to two sold-out crowds of die-hard fans wearing homemade merch. Finally, Pandora, and therefore Wisp, has arrived in full as we witness a defining moment in the genre’s history.
