MIRADOR, the new band featuring Greta Van Fleet guitarist Jake Kiszka and Ida Mae’s Chris Turpin, have announced the release of their self-titled, debut effort. The record is slated to arrive on September 19th via Republic Records. You can pre-order/pre-save it now here. Speaking of the group, Turpin offered:
“MIRADOR comes from a deep passion for rock ‘n’ roll, early folk, and country blues as well as folklore.”
Kiszka adds:
“Our world lives in those traditions. There’s an unspoken mysticism. You can trace it back to the stories of meeting the devil at the crossroads, selling your soul, and losing your mind to the wind. MIRADOR definitely inhabits a lot of that. We’re hyper aware of our lineage, so we can build our own future as a band. It’s two guitar players from notable groups coming together to create a new mythology. As soon as we were in uncharted territory, we knew we were doing something right.”
The group have also premiered their first single, “Feels Like Gold”; listen below. Of the track, the band state:
“‘Feels Like Gold’ is set against the backdrop of conquest and imperialism, in an era marked by global friction and war. The song weaves together themes of cultural collision, the relentless pursuit of riches, and the complexities of history. Yet, amidst the darkness of war and dogged determination for expansion, it offers a message of hope for a unified world and an understanding beyond violence.”
Additionally, MIRADOR have expanded their touring plans by confirming a November tour of Europe and the UK and added an October show in San Francisco. You can find their complete itinerary below. Tickets for these newly added shows will be available this Friday, October 1st at 10:00 AM local time. Tickets for their fall North American tour are on sale now here.
