FAMILIARS FROM ANOTHER LIFE, the third album from Detroit’s KIND BEAST, will see its release NOV 21, 2025 on Don Giovanni Records and is available for PRE-ORDER today (link in bio).
Two years in the making, FAMILIARS expands the group’s night-rock ethos and offers their most rhythmic, guitar-centric output yet, and also their most conceptual. The album revolves around explorations of “The Familiar” archetype, beings whom upon first encounter feel immediately and universally intimate—good, evil or otherwise.
Lead-off track “In It To Win It” (streaming now) revisits noir tropes of young love and violence, “hitting the road” as journey of crime and transcendence (themes most famously exemplified in Terrence Malick’s Badlands and Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde), set here to a Sabbath-meets-Fleetwood groove. Backing vocals by
@joephilips .
Basic tracking for FAMILIARS was recorded live at
@magpiecage by J. Robbins, with additional recording and mixing/mastering by
