Mirador – new album out today + new official music video ‘Must I Go Bound’

MIRADOR, the band co-founded by GRAMMY® Award-winning Greta Van Fleet co-founder Jake Kiszka and Ida Mae’s Chris Turpin, release their debut self-titled album MIRADOR via Republic Records.
 
“MIRADOR comes from a deep passion for rock ‘n’ roll, early folk, and country blues as well as folklore,” says Turpin. “Our world lives in those traditions,” Kiszka adds. “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 band also share the music video for ‘Must I Go Bound’ directed by Gus Black, Jake Kiszka, and Chris Turpin and which was shot in Turpin’s hometown of Bath. The band share about the new song:
 
“’Must I Go Bound’ is a song that draws inspiration from the worn pages of an old ballad book, reimagined, remembered, and retold through the lens of Mirador. It is a folkloric journey steeped in symbolism, with the protagonist lamenting a lost love. 

All of us wander the crossroads of our own making, tracing the paths not taken and imagining what could have been. We hope this song reminds people of that universal experience – that from despair comes hope, and from desertion comes redemption. 
 
Recorded live in Dave Cobb’s intimate studio on the windswept shores of Savannah, Georgia, we stripped our sound back to its essence, using parlour guitars to evoke the timeless connection between European folk traditions and American roots music. 
 
We wanted our voices to find each other’s in a song that felt like it could have been written a thousand years ago – a testament to the enduring power of love and loss.
