Denver-based bass music titan – Midnight Tyrannosaurus, sets to embark on a groundbreaking sonic journey with the release of his highly anticipated concept album-alike EP, “Life of a Street Rat,” out now on July 17. This 14-track opus is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a fully realized universe brought to life through music, animation (out soon), and storytelling.
The EP serves as the first chapter in a larger narrative, promising a multi-dimensional experience for fans. The EP’s release (out now) will be followed by an over-30-date themed North America tour of the same name, kicking off on Aug 29 as a live cinematic and audio experience.
Midnight Tyrannosaurus truly brings to life his gritty, bass-heavy sound with the addition of some very unique voiceover sampling that lends itself to the theme of the project. To further immerse listeners in this world, Midnight Tyrannosaurus is producing a captivating 20-minute animated episode that will be released mid-tour with a whole storyline behind it, full character sketches, and hired voice actors. In the meantime, get ready to be transported into the gritty yet enthralling sonic realm of “Life of a Street Rat.”
“The whole idea behind these last few releases is trying to bridge the gap between cartoons and dubstep. To tell a cohesive, digestible story that takes the listener on an audio journey utilizing dubstep as an anchor. Like an audiobook on crack. Then, when combined with animated visuals, it becomes a mini-movie with a musical focus.” – Midnight Tyrannosaurus
