Back with Two Beasts is the nineteenth album (and fourth collection of outtakes) by the Australian psychedelic rock band the Church, released in November 2005. The material was recorded during the Uninvited, Like the Clouds sessions but released first, as a teaser for that album, and was originally only available from the band's website or at their gigs. It was re-released by Unorthodox Records in 2009. The title is a play on the euphemism for sexual intercourse, "the beast with two backs", to which both of the track titles on the band's previous self-released album, Jammed, also referred.
