Mustard Vinyl, limited to 400 copies. Psychodrama is Tigers on Opium debut full length. A structured form of therapy in which a person dramatizes a personal problem or conflict, usually in front of a group of other therapy participants.

The other participants usually take part in the drama, though each performance focuses on a single person's concerns.

The goal of psychodrama therapy is to work together in a group to achieve a better understanding of past traumas and the influence they can create, the members must feel willing to work together.

"When I came across the idea of psychodrama therapy, I started to think about how we have so many joint experiences as a society that currently happen or have happened, and how they shape both our singular and collective consciousness.

Music has always been a form of therapy for not just me, but a massive amount of the people in the world.

I started to conceptualize this as an idea for the album, thinking that we all have so many connections to major/micro events in time, and generally similar interpretations of them.

Like the idea of a psychodrama therapy session, I started to envision how the songs could play out about these different moments...

Almost like vignettes or snapshots of life, with the song playing the role of the individual, and the listeners playing the role of the group." Juan Carlos Caceres
