Mirador, the new band co-founded by Greta Van Fleet’s Jake Kiszka and Ida Mae’s Chris Turpin, have dropped their debut self-titled album via Republic Records.
The record arrives with the release of the haunting new video for Must I Go Bound, directed by Gus Black along with Kiszka and Turpin. Shot in Turpin’s hometown of Bath, the song reimagines an old English ballad with stripped-back acoustic guitars and dual vocals, recorded live in Savannah with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb.
Kiszka says the band’s sound pulls from the folklore, blues, and mysticism that shaped rock’s roots. “As soon as we were in uncharted territory, we knew we were doing something right,” he says. Turpin adds, “Our world lives in those traditions – crossroads, devil-at-the-door kind of myth – and Mirador inhabits that world.”
Mirador was forged after Kiszka and Turpin first toured together in 2018 when Ida Mae opened for Greta Van Fleet in Detroit. Their chemistry led to late-night jams and eventually a full-blown collaboration. After spending a month opening for Greta Van Fleet’s Starcatcher world tour in 2024, the band took that live energy straight into the studio with Cobb, tracking their debut in just two weeks.
The album swings between heavy blues-driven riffs (Feels Like Gold, Heels of the Hunt) and more atmospheric moments (Skyway Drifter). Guitar World praised the duo’s playing as “dynamite… tangled, snarling solos land punch after punch,” while Revolver described the sound as “hellhound-trailing rock riffage” plugged into vintage amps.
Alongside Kiszka and Turpin, the line-up features Mikey Sorbello on drums and Nick Pini on bass and keys.
Mirador are currently on the road for a US headlining run, which sold out instantly and forced a second wave of larger venues to be added. The trek now spans 31 dates, including stops in New York, Nashville, Los Angeles, London, and Dublin. Support comes from Linka Moja.
