BUCK MEEK
A gleaner of the forgotten, Buck Meek tips over the familiar and turns the unknown into a companion. On The Mirror, the artist’s fourth solo record and second album released by 4AD, there’s a tender power, countered by immutable vulnerability. With an uncanny curiosity, Meek conjures twin worlds to reveal the uniqueness in the mundane. Inviting in reflection as collaborator and demon as friend, The Mirror doesn’t seek to know but to ask, looking to the shape of a question rather than the illusion of its answer.
Meek grew up in Wimberley, Texas. The grandson of a Shakespearean scholar grandmother and Faulkner scholar grandfather; the son of a child psychologist mother and glass sculptor father; and teenage protege to an old guard of mystic Texas songwriters and musicians, outlaw poets, acid hillbilly jazzers, and gutbucket guitarists. Meek’s first gig was at thirteen, playing rhythm for the Memphis bluesman Brandon Gist, kicking Gist's old amp when it would short out on stage. The artist went on to cut his teeth playing Manouche, Romanian waltzes, ragtime, western swing, rock and roll, and his own songs in bars, icehouses, square dances, pie socials, cowgirl kabuki theaters, fire dances, and acrobat squats in high desert mission churches. He moved to Boston to study jazz, and quickly found community in other young “jazz musicians” who really just wanted to write songs and play rock and roll at house shows. Later, he moved to New York where he met Adrianne Lenker. The two lived in a van while singing their songs across the country before forming Big Thief.

“The more I get to know you, the less I know of love /
Is it science? Is it art? / Can I learn to give away my heart?”

Germaine Dunes of Kisser got her degree in archaeology, discovering, among other artifacts, a Brahmi inscription on an amethyst at Tissamaharama in Southern Sri-Lanka. She then worked on space station development at ESA, and then at CERN, collecting neutrons from distant galaxies inside of an ice cave on top of the Matterhorn mountain in Switzerland for astronaut life support system research, as well as studying the deep sound channel and the effects of climate change on underwater acoustics and marine animal communication. All the while she was writing songs, and after moving from her home in Amsterdam to Los Angeles, she released her debut album Midnight Game in 2023, then started the rock band Kisser, with Luke Temple (Here We Go Magic, Art Feynman), Buck Meek (Big Thief), Jeffertitii Moon, and Jesse Quebbeman Turley. They will release their debut album in 2026.
