About the Song

Blending neo-Victorian whimsy with dark surrealism, "Hatter's Mad Emporium" is a vivid sonic exploration of the world inside an oddities shop perveyed by the Hatter. Written and produced by Wendy DuMond (Bog Witch), the track channels dream logic from the world of Wonderland, where down is up and nothing behaves as it should.

"I wanted to explore the darker corners of Lewis Carroll's world. As a kid, I was a bit uncomfortable with Wonderland. Wonderland always seemed on the edge of something to me. It tilted toward the “not good.” Alice is tempted (or goaded) into eating things that make her uncomfortable. But she survives and goes on to endure quite a few other trippy things before she wakes from her dream. I was considering Biblical/literary tropes where something is left for a female to consume or open, and she does this. Then all hell breaks loose." - Bog Witch

Fox Fire Review of Seasick

https://www.foxfiremagazine.com/2025/04/bog-witch-conjures-environmental.html

Wendy DuMond, under the evocative moniker Bog Witch drops new single, ''Seasick'', with a powerful and bizarre story of nature fighting back. ''Seasick'' blending ancient folklore with contemporary urgency, channels the rage and sorrow of a sea witch mourning the polluted waters she once protected.

With Bog Witch multi-instrumental mastery on full display: her vocals drift like fog across a minimalist seascape built from ukulele, autoharp, synths, and an eerie washboard rhythm. Joined by Nikos Giousef on the musical saw and actual whale echolocations, the track achieves a chilling naturalism that blurs the line between human and marine expression.

The first two releases from the upcoming Wendy DuMond project are now on all streaming platforms and on Bandcamp. Moon is Winking was released 3/14/25 and Lord Calvert was released on 3/15/25. Stay tuned for new music from the forthcoming Pop Witch EP as well.
