Review: Wisp's debut EP, Pandora, shows off her understanding of modern shoegaze. This release has garnered significant attention and when you heat it, it'll be clear why. The standout single, 'Your Face,' opens with crashing drums and ethereal guitar leads, perfectly complemented by Wisp's dreamy, drowsy vocal effect. The track's structure and key changes between verses create a stunning listening experience. Pandora and the reflective atmosphere are breathtaking with Wisp's gentle soprano and shinning shoegaze guitar. Although the lyrics may meander, the overall sonic impact is undeniable. 'Luna,' a highlight of the EP, blends dreamy and reverb-drenched vocals with influences from Slowdive and Candy Claws. The balance between instrumental focus and vocal presence is exceptional. 'See You Soon' stands out lyrically, with poignant lines and an overdriven indie lead. The closing track, 'Mimi,' impresses with its clean vocals and unique writing with the best lyrical content on the project. In Pandora, Wisp delivers a collection of tracks that effortlessly blend wistful melodies with her breathy voice, creating a dreamy shoegaze experience. As debuts go, this is pretty spectacular.
