Lu, better known as Wisp, has skyrocketed into shoegaze stardom thanks largely to the novel phenomenon of TikTok. Inspired by the likes of Whirr and Cocteau Twins, the San Francisco native enjoyed virtually overnight success with \u201cYour Face,&#8221; leading many screen-scrolling early adopters to wonder what she had to offer beyond the initial 30-second snippet. With Wisp\u2019s debut EP Pandora, we\u2019re beginning to see just what this young artist has in mind. Clocking in at just 23 minutes (and with two tracks being released beforehand), Pandora is a short but overwhelming ride, leaving me and nearly 2 million monthly listeners waiting for more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Cohesion on <em>Pandora <\/em>goes beyond the flow of the tracklist\u2014every instrument feels like it\u2019s been melted down, allowed to congeal, and then condensed into an impenetrable fog of face-melting yet sleepy guitar, explosive drums tactfully positioned at the back of the mix, and Lu\u2019s breathy, intimate, Vallium vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Pandora\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/47rlABSBChwZC7qxAKzOWw?si=1ig2RIgyTOmdrqhNALZr3A&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The self-proclaimed \u201cWhirr whore for life\u201d doesn\u2019t hide her inspirations, but instead allows them to sit firmly at the foundation of each track. Whether it\u2019s angsty yearnings of unrequited need (\u201cEnough for you\u201d) or the desperate yet hopeful reminiscings of an intimate morning with someone you don\u2019t know like you used to (\u201cLuna\u201d) every song on <em>Pandora <\/em>feels like an entry in a stolen diary\u2014a furtive and final peek into a swirling pit of love, rage, and chaos, evoking the age-old tale of the EP\u2019s namesake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Critics might spear <em>Pandora <\/em>as retreading too much ground, as too derivative from the shoegaze legends it so proudly tributes. But to me, this EP (and the success of Wisp in general) goes further than evaluating one single song or project. It\u2019s a sign of a shift, of shoegaze and its emotional, sometimes hopeless themes growing as a wider trend in today\u2019s listening culture. What that means for the kids listening is up to them, but one thing is for certain\u2014this isn\u2019t the last we will hear of Wisp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since her debut single \u201cYour Face\u201d just over a year ago, Natalie R.
