Hailing from the land of overproduced pop comes a breath of intriguing and intelligently captivating music, that relief is courtesy of The Deer Tracks. There is just something that happens when a band is first heard that can only happen once, it is much more than just a mere first impression...its alchemy. Its the power to take all different elements and emotions to create something that the listener cannot help but become obsessed with, all it will take is one listen of The Deer Tracks to experience this phenomenon.
Upon first listen we guarantee you will want to know more and more and more about them. Their sound is uniquely their own but would expect to be heard from an Icelandic band(Of Monsters and Men, Sigur Rós etc), however David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors are both from Gävle, Sweden. These two are the heart and soul of everything that is The Deer Tracks; from writing to music to recording to production to whatever else is needed to create their signature sound. It is probably for this reason that their sound is so intimate and that level of intimacy is able to transcend to the listener creating this unique music moment every time a track is heard.
It was in fact just the two of them alone in a remote cabin with nothing more than their talent and some sub-par equipment that allowed them to create the masterpiece known as The Archer Trilogy, the final installment was just released earlier this month.
The Archer Trilogy is a must have on any music lovers iPod. Its a testament to how serious these two take their music. Each EP is a journey through different layers of music that is harmonized perfectly and almost effortlessly with Lindfors' ethereal voice. Track by track these two show how they can transition from trance to dance to pop to folk. The Deer Tracks explore it all but do it without the novelty, instead they produce really solid tracks that although different in genre still somehow manages to unite the album into a cohesive and exciting piece of music perfection.
