Hi I’m Kit! It’s a pleasure to have you here! Let’s get to know each other. I started taking piano lessons back in June of 2023 as a way to heal an inner child and I wrote my first song, Grim Relation, back in April of 2023. This song sparked a passion for music I didn’t know I had. Using the medium as a way to heal parts of myself while connecting with others who may be going through a similar experience. 

Funny to look back and see how one song inspired a life’s vision and purpose. Since then, I have written and produced this album along with other songs still to come. 

When thinking about what songs I wanted on my first album, I started to think of the title ‘Familiars’ and connecting with that idea. I wanted the entirety of the album to feel familiar to everyone who listened to it. It is my belief that the themes of each song will invoke feelings we have all felt. Feelings of familiarity, comfortability, nostalgia, hate, love, empowerment, and defeat. 

The Familiars album inspires us to look past differences and find core human experiences and feelings to connect to one another, as our familiars do. Enjoy my personal life story told through the songs of this album. 

I have made it my mission to share music with you all, and in doing so, I share the profits with our beloved fury friends (or as I call them, familiars). In supporting me, you also support the Whatcom Humane Society.

Randal Collier-Ford is an American musician and producer, known for his menacing and brooding dark ambient soundscapes on records such as 2015's Remnants and 2017's Promethean.

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest state of Oregon, he made his start in 2012 with projects such as the Temple of Algolagnia, Grey Light Shade, and Mors Universa. He put out several records with each project before deciding to reconfigure the repre ntation of his music toward the end of the year, and from thereon in, began to release efforts under his given name. The first such release was 2012's Dark Corners, which was put out by English imprint, Kalpamantra. The label put out two more of Collier- Ford's efforts -- 2013's Queen of Sheba and 2014's Gods Never Never Sleep (the latter's title was presented in traditional Hindi).

He moved over to Cryo Chamber Records in 2015 which took care of all subsequent releases. The first was the Architects album which saw a slight sonic departure from previous releases. While still focusing on the familiar, dark ambient and drone sounds that Collier-Ford had become known for, the producer had begun to incorporate more innovative use of sound design along with frequent rhythm changes to achieve an overall more "cinematic" feel. Cryo Chamber put out a further two releases from the musician; 2015's Remnants and 2017's Promethean. 2017 also saw Colier-Ford independently release the Apex LP.
