Black Tiger Sex Machine continues to expand their captivating fictional universe with the release of their new single, ‘Mind Expanding.‘ This track follows the previous single, ‘You Shall See,’ which introduced a new set of characters called the Taiyans, led by General Taiyō.
‘Mind Expanding’ delves deeper into the Taiyans’ ideology, presenting a narrative-driven song with intense production and a score-like quality. The track features classic nature documentary narration, echoing the relentlessness of the Taiyan mission and their belief that by blinding themselves, they shall truly see. The song’s intensity and brash nature reflect the Taiyans’ dedication to their cause, which sets them on a collision course with iconic characters like Naomi and the tigers. ‘Mind Expanding’ was a crowd-pleaser at Lost Lands, which sent the crowd into a feral rage during the Skull Machine set.
“The Taiyans believe that by blinding themselves, they shall truly see. For ages, Taiyans had been praying to the sun, hoping the world would burn. As the world turned to ashes and their apocalyptic prophecy appeared to be true, the number of their followers grew…” – BTSM
Over the years the Canadian group Black Tiger Sex Machine have established themselves as key figures in the bass music scene. Along with their music BTSM pushes the boundaries of what a live show can be, implementing an extremely immersive experience where visuals, lights, music and their signature Tiger Helmets are all controlled live. Their grassroots approach has fostered an extraordinarily faithful fan base called the BTSM Church. BTSM are world-traveling artists having played hundreds of international shows across the US, Canada, Asia, Europe and Africa, as well as major festivals including Lollapalooza Chicago and Paris, EDC Las Vegas, Shambhala, Electric Forest, Osheaga, TomorrowWorld, Ultra and more. Their Futuristic Thriller Tour debuted the Movie Experience, which wove live action cinema and storytelling into their show. The following year, BTSM shared Chapter 2 through an equally impressive tour. The entire Movie Experience sold out at such venues as Bill Graham, Red Rocks and more.
