KIND, the Boston Supergroup, has already established their credentials as one of the hardest hitting bands on the scene. Combining stoner vibes with doom and sludge, with a never ending command of songwriting and song structure, each album has been better than the last. Now, we're proud to release their 3rd long player on Ripple.

Release Date: August 11, 2023

- Rare Test Pressing LP
- Worldwide Midnight Black Vinyl LP
- Limited Galaxy Colored Vinyl LP

Colored vinyl edition is limited to 250 copies pressed on sea blue with black galaxy effect

Test pressings arrive in plain cardstock sleeves as received from the factory. These are not gimmick or fake test presses, but very limited original test pressings sent to test fidelity. These will never be repressed.

KIND, the stoner/psych/doom supergroup from Boston featuring Matt Couto (ex-Elder), Tom Corino (ex-Rozamov), Craig Riggs (Roadsaw) and Darryl Shepard (ex-Black Pyramid), return with their second full-length. Staying true to their sound but expanding their sonic palette, KIND has crafted seven new songs that cover the aural spectrum, from the indie-rock influenced “Helms” to the full-on doom of “Trigger Happy” to the rock bombast of “Broken Tweaker," all capturing the effortless interplay between the instruments and the powerful vocals. The result is a wall of sound that shows the talent and experience these musicians continue to bring to the form.
