FAMILIARS FROM ANOTHER LIFE, the third album from Detroit’s KIND BEAST, will see its release NOV 21, 2025 on Don Giovanni Records. 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” 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. The song is available for streaming and download on all platforms.

Basic tracking for FAMILIARS was recorded live at Magpie Cage by J. Robbins, with additional recording and mixing/mastering by Zach Shipps at RV Audio Lab in Ferndale, Michigan. Cover photography is by Shawn Macguire; album design is by Dan Jaquint.

Please stay tuned for additional songs and videos, and the forthcoming bundles for 12” vinyl and digital download. A release show is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8 at The Lexington, Detroit w/ Gusher and Cult Therapy.
