Brand new music video from Bog Witch

From the humid heart of the American South, Atlanta-based songwriter Wendy DuMond, who performs under the name Bog Witch, has built a sound that feels suspended between worlds. Her music is a haunting blend of folk, Americana and experimental textures, where tenderness meets mystery and every moment seems to echo real experiences. A true Southern storyteller with a poet’s outlook, Bog Witch spins emotion into mythic soundscapes, crafting songs that are abstract, relatable and wildly original all at once.

Born in Montana and raised in Oklahoma, Wendy grew up under wide skies and in the solitude of the plains, landscapes that imprinted themselves on her creative vision. Those early years, surrounded by silence and wind, gave her songs a particular stillness and space; even now, they move like weather systems, slow-building and shifting. After settling in the South, her sound found its true form, resulting in an arresting fusion of country’s intimacy and the surreal dream logic of experimental folk.

Since releasing her debut EP The Scarlet Letter back in 2012, Bog Witch has earned a reputation for her poetic storytelling and adventurous arrangements. Her music often explores the inner lives of women, the subtle acts of rebellion, the negotiations of power and tenderness and the small moments of resolve that arrive in the dark. Over time, her catalogue has grown into something like a personal mythology via songs that feel as if they could have been passed down through generations but still bear the fingerprints of their maker.

Now, Bog Witch enters a fascinating new chapter with her latest single titled “Dream Birds,” a brand new song that lives up to its name in every sense. Floating around a ukulele-led arrangement, soft vocals and a warm synth pad, it plays like a lullaby from another dimension, presenting a folk-inspired dreamscape, filled with birds, locusts and spiritual echoes. Thematically, “Dream Birds” captures the space between omen and blessing, between the waking world and the one that flickers just beyond it.

The production maintains a stripped back and human feel, keeping every breath, every small imperfection intact. “I wanted it to feel unpolished in a chosen way — rather than a sterile, perfect recording,” she shares. Brought in by her softly delivered vocals setting the scene with “the other night I had a dream that I was lying on a railroad track,” as the twinkle of chiming tones and gentle ukulele strums swirl around her voice.

Equally hypnotic, transportive and charming, “Dream Birds” delivers an elegant slice of poetic folk music that’s sure to put a smile on the face of anyone who hears it. Paired with the single is a music video that pairs animated visuals with shots of Wendy performing the song to further enhance the sense of reality blurring into the surreal and everything not being quite as it seems. It’s a truly delightful new outing from an artist who continues to share enchanting musical moments which deftly balance musical appeal with thought-provoking concepts.
