Mirador’s Debut Album Has Greta Van Fleet Connection
Mirador, a band co-founded by Greta Van Fleet co-founder/guitarist Jake Kiszka and Ida Mae’s Chris Turpin, will release its self-titled debut album on September 19th.
“Feels Like Gold” is the first song the band has released.
“The song weaves together themes of cultural collision, the relentless pursuit of riches, and the complexities of history,” commented the band, “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.”

“‘Mirador’ comes from a deep passion for Rock ‘n’ Roll, early Folk, and Country Blues as well as folklore,” said Turpin. “Our world lives in those traditions,”
“There’s an unspoken mysticism,” added Kiszka. “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.”
A ‘mirador’ is a turret or tower attached to a building and providing an extensive view.
