Alt-rock shoegaze artist Wisp joins Midwest-rock icons American Football on their forthcoming LP4, featured on the album’s focus track, “Wake Her Up.” Providing her signature ethereal vocals set against a sonic backdrop filled with percussion, electronic guitar riffs, the track effortlessly infuses elements of classic pop, 80s alternative, and British Rock into a true standout.

Wisp has a natural ability for blending emo intensity with pop-forward sensibilities, a sound that has driven over 500 million global streams, including 235M+ for her breakout single “Your Face.” Her debut album, If Not Winter, cements her place in the alternative scene with a striking collection of diary-like reflections laced with medieval imagery, literary texts and walls of distorted guitars. The album has surpassed 47M+ streams and received glowing praise from Rolling Stone, who called it “a celestial collection of shoegaze-steeped tracks.”

Wisp has performed at Coachella, Camp Flog Gnaw, and Bonnaroo, supported stadium runs with System of a Down and Deftones, and sold out her “If Not Winter” headline tour. Coming up, she will make appearances at Gov Ball, Hinterland, and All Points East.

Upcoming Wisp Shows:

June 6 – New York, NY – Governors Ball Festival
July 31 – Saint Charles, Iowa – Hinterland Festival
August 23 – London, UK – All Points East Festival
