Belgian progressive rock band Murky Red is set to release their second single, Pineapple Sweet, this Friday, April 4th, 2025. The track will be available exclusively on Bandcamp throughout April, with a wider release on all streaming platforms in May. This new single follows the success of their acclaimed video of the same name, continuing the band’s signature blend of atmospheric rock and surreal artistry.
About the Song
“Pineapple Sweet” is a mesmerizing fusion of sound and surrealism, crafted by Stef Flaming. The song showcases Murky Red’s signature atmospheric rock, blending rich melodies with an ethereal, dreamlike quality. Its hypnotic rhythms and evocative instrumentation create an immersive sonic experience that lingers long after the music fades.
According to Stef,
“As a Dutch speaker, I find it entertaining to mispronounce English words or invent non-existent ones. For example, the Dutch word for pineapple is ananas, which, when pronounced in English, can sound—especially to those with a mischievous mindset—like “an anus.” That playful absurdity was the main inspiration for writing a song where I could embrace such silliness.
Beyond that, the message is simple: Don’t take yourself too seriously. You’re not the center of the universe—be that only to your closest family and friends because that’s what truly matters. Stay humble, and don’t waste energy trying to convince the world of your greatness. Most importantly, enjoy the simple things in life as much as you can.”
Music and Lyrics by Stef Flaming.
