Milking it for all it's worth and keeping abreast of our news feed, Pepper Rabbit released another precursor to Red Velvet Snow Ball's drop on August 9 in the form of the single "Murder Room." As delightfully engaging as "Rose Mary Stretch," this glimmering pop track was decoded by Xander Singh as an accomplishment in his targeted musical method:
“Murder Room” is probably the most straightforward pop song I’ve ever written, which was what I was trying to do. But the storyline definitely takes a darker turn. It’s about that feeling of being too crowded that I’m sure everyone experiences. Though in this story, the character goes to some extreme lengths to find himself in a place where he can just be alone with his thoughts.
Yeah, so no dead bodies here. Only staccato keyboards and rich tones.
