American shoegaze artist Wisp recently appeared on Australia's 'Like A Version' segment for the first time. She performed a reimagined version of Green Day's 2009 song, 'Last Night on Earth.'
Wisp described her choice as a simple and fun one, appreciating the song's sentimental tone. She layered classic shoegaze textures and ambient guitar effects over the melody, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. This rendition contrasts sharply with the original punk ballad.
The artist revealed that this cover played a role in shaping her next album. She had curated songs for inspiration, and the Green Day track was a key element on a personal moodboard playlist.
During her 'Like A Version' appearance, Wisp also performed her original song, 'Black Swan.' Her cover of 'Last Night on Earth' aligns with the segment's tradition of unique artistic reinterpretations.
