Happy EP release day to an artist who blew me away when I saw her live\u2014her second-ever show apparently\u2014a few months ago in the back room of a posh Chinese restaurant full of well-dressed young folk experiencing the mind-melting power of shoegaze and actual songwriting in real-time. The now maybe-too<\/em>-well-documented rise of Wisp and what she may or may not represent to an entire online community<\/a> makes for decent copy. I’m just thankful her music is good enough (sometimes great enough) to outrun any ongoing guitar rock trend. This is a too-long way of saying that Wisp makes my insides melt into pink sugar, which is how I once described My Bloody Valentine in a magazine<\/a>. It’s a compliment to Wisp that when I listen to “Pandora,” I’m not thinking about the ’90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
