Wendy DuMond unleashes a wonderland fever dream with “Hatter’s Mad Emporium”

 

Enter the captivating and surreal world of "Hatter’s Mad Emporium," the latest innovative release from experimental artist Wendy DuMond, also known by her evocative alias, Bog Witch. This track transcends being merely a song; it's a neo-Victorian fever dream filled with rich metaphors, jagged production, and a whimsical theatricality reminiscent of Lewis Carroll and Kate Bush.

DuMond doesn’t just reference Alice in Wonderland—she uses it as a powerful tool. Through dark surrealism and intricate lyrics, she reimagines the Mad Hatter’s world as a chaotic reflection of our own, where truth slips like mercury through gloved fingers, and curiosity has its costs. The track begins with fractured music-box tones and quickly transitions into glitchy, hypnotic instrumentation that feels like a carnival ride spiraling out of control.

What truly energizes “Hatter’s Mad Emporium” is its feminist undercurrent. DuMond uses the absurdity of Wonderland to critique how women’s voices and powers are distorted and constrained by dishonest systems. Her whimsical yet powerful vocals flow with intention, evoking the sound of an oracle caught in the middle of a prophecy.

The production is richly layered and uniquely unconventional. Gothic strings, distorted synths, and ticking clocks create a soundscape as unstable as magnetic, immersing listeners in a realm where time, identity, and logic bend freely.

In “Hatter’s Mad Emporium,” Wendy DuMond creates a beautifully bizarre protest wrapped in lace and lunacy. It’s a must-listen for fans of art-pop, dark cabaret, or anyone attracted to music that challenges reality with a wink and a bite.
