Bog Witch Channels Vintage Cool and Dark Humor on New Single “Mr. Fly”

The latest offering from Bog Witch, “Mr. Fly,” is a song that draws you in with a sprightly melody and holds you with its smart wit and unexpected emotion. Based around its core of bass, drums, ukulele, and standout saxophone lines, it’s a song that bubbles with a retro pop pulse, one that pays homage to the fuzzy warmth of garage rock while still crackling alive in 2025.

“Mr. Fly” cruises with a nonchalant cool from its very first notes. Its harmonies flap back and forth between sweetness and sass, while its rhythm never settles into a groove yet is never too busy to resist catching the ear. Bog Witch concoct a sound that’s firmly in the realm of such artists as Shannon & the Clams, Best Coast, and La Luz but unique to those forebears, a true cocksure stomp through the Venn diagram of indie weirdoism and classic rock ‘n’ roll.

But it’s the lyrics that make “Mr. Fly” really buzz. Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s musings on mortality, the song plays out like a one-sided conversation with a fly, an absurd and profound symbol.
