The album’s first single “Meeting The Master” is out now to extensive critical acclaim;
Consequence raves that the song “[digs] deeper into their mythical lore by revisiting concepts
from their previous work,” while Uproxx notes that “‘Meeting the Master’ [is] an existential new
single on which lead vocalist Josh Kiszka embarks on a spiritual journey.” Jambase adds, “the
song develops from a beautiful acoustic-tinged number into a bombastic rocker.” Listen/share
the song HERE and pre-save/pre-order the record HERE.
The album is written and recorded by the band—lead singer Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka,
bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka and drummer Danny Wagner—alongside Grammy-winning
producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile). Recorded at the legendary RCA Studios
in Nashville, the band utilized the large recording room to capture the pure energy of their world-
renowned live performances.
“We didn’t really have to force or be intense about writing, because everything that
happened was very instinctual,” Jake says. “If anything, the record is our perspective, and sums
up where we are as a group and individually as musicians.”
Throughout the ten-song collection the band explores the duality of fantasy versus reality and the
contrast between light and darkness. “We had this idea that we wanted to tell these stories to
build a universe,” says Wagner. “We wanted to introduce characters and motifs and these ideas
that would come about here and there throughout our careers through this world.”

The band took multiple concepts from critically acclaimed sophomore album The Battle at
Garden’s Gate and brought them into Starcatcher, although Sam’s take on the new record’s big
ideas hint instead at new beginnings. “When I imagine the world of Starcatcher, I think of the
cosmos,” he says. “It makes me ask a lot of questions, like ‘Where did we come from?’ or ‘What
are we doing here?’ But it’s also questions like, ‘What is this consciousness that we have, and
where did it come from?’”
The band is best known for their renowned live performances, selling over one million tickets
worldwide. They sold out their entire 2022 arena tour, holding a special energy between them
and their devoted fans. With Starcatcher the band aims to capture that energy in the recording
studio.
Most recently, the band performed at the inaugural Lollapalooza Mumbai and completed an
extensive U.S. arena tour in March. Greta Van Fleet returns to the road next month for the Shaky
Knees Festival in Atlanta and Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis.
Starcatcher follows their acclaimed sophomore album The Battle at Garden’s Gate, released in
2021 to extensive chart and critical success. The album debuted at #1 Billboard Rock Album,
#1 Billboard Hard Rock Album, #1 Billboard Vinyl Album, #2 Billboard Top Album Sales
and in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. Their From The Fires EP, released in 2017, won Best
Rock Album at the 61 st Grammy Awards.
Forming in Frankenmuth, Michigan in 2012, Greta Van Fleet consists of three brothers—vocalist
Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka and bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka—as well as drummer
Danny Wagner. Together they have performed across multiple continents, sold over 3.5 million
records worldwide and performed on late night television shows such as “Saturday Night Live,”
“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
