Just last month we were enchanted by the ocean-sized post-‘gaze of Wisp, who swept us away through a dream-pop current called “Sword” that ultimately ended up on The V List as one of our fave tracks of March. Now, fresh off a Coachella appearance and ahead of joining System of a Down’s summer stadium tour and appearances at Bonnaroo and Kilby Block Party, the San Francisco-born project of Natalie R. Lu is back with another tidal new single in “Get back to me.”
Wisp needs not ask twice.
A golden guitar-pop drifter awash in lush melody and emotive attachment, “Get back to me” dropped this past Friday (April 18), and continues to pull us into Lu’s world through a noisy, yet comforting, embrace. And under the layers and textures is a reflection of personal awareness.
“‘Get back to me’ represents the greed for chaos, even at the cost of yourself,” says Lu. “It’s about staying in a place you know isn’t good for you, yet you’re in a seemingly unbreakable cycle of going back — which portrays desperation, recklessness and limerence.”
