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.
