Bog Witch - Dream Birds

1/16/2026

Comments

 
Picture
Singer songwriter Wendy DuMond AKA  Bog Witch has returned with the release of a brand new track, “Dream Birds.” With the ukulele and soft vocals, the track keeps a steady tempo steering away from big shifts in dynamics. The vast majority of what you hear is the vocal and basic musical arrangement without the addition of lots of layers added on top which gives it real sense of authenticity.

Comments

 
Picture
London based Lana Crow has released a brand new single titled “What Brings You Back.” The track builds on the sound she has become known for on earlier releases such as “Orwellian Times” and “I Do.” With a steady tempo, Lana's clean vocals stand out against the backdrop of dreamy guitar work. There isn't lots of dynamic shifts but the instrumental elements add lots of nuanced elements that keep the track flowing. Most of the work is done by soft pads and Crow’s voice.

Comments

 
Picture
Martin Howard’s latest release, Selene, is an original piece for solo guitar, written after seeing a moonscape painting by his wife. The warm, bright tone that you can hear is thanks to the fifty year old classical guitar that Martin used to perform Selene. The song was written with a straightforward goal, to contribute something to the nylon string world, that wasn't too academic or niche, but something new that has real depth and emotion.
