THE DEER TRACKS ANNOUNCE ‘THE ARCHER TRILOGY PT. 2’ LP SET FOR A JULY 5 RELEASE ON THE CONTROL GROUP

The Deer Tracks is set to release the second installation of their Archer Trilogy series, The Archer Trilogy Pt. 2 on July 5 on The Control Group (El Perro Del Mar, Wildbirds & Peacedrums).

The Deer Tracks are a Northern Light Electronica duo, David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors, who call Gävle, Sweden their home. These two versatile multi-instrumentalists and singers, handle every aspect of their music from writing to recording to production.

After touring Europe and Japan, in the spring and summer of 2010 The Deer Tracks retreated to the Swedish wilderness to create their definitive statement to date. In Elin’s grandmother’s remote cabin with no phone lines, no friends and one barely working computer, The Deer Tracks wrote and recorded their epic The Archer Trilogy, now releasing as their U.S. debut in three parts: Pt. 1, a five-song EP released last March; Pt. 2: a full album to be released on July 5. And Pt. 3 – yet to be revealed as the final installment.

The Deer Tracks display their signature schizophrenia on The Archer Trilogy: Pt. 2; Elin sings breathlessly over an anxious synthesizer melody and suddenly a hard-edged guitar riff snaps the song in two, only to fall away as strings and bass sweeps in for a soaring chorus.

“We’re always adding things and doing things differently,” says David. “We’re always changing. We’re never satisfied. Everything is unfinished!”

“But I like that,” says Elin. “I like when there’s not an ending.”

The Deer Tracks released their debut LP Aurora in 2008 receiving accolades from NME, The Guardian, Clash Magazine, and more. Since then The Deer Tracks have toured the UK, Europe, and Japan. They made their US debut this March in Austin at SXSW. Stay tuned for info on The Deer Tracks upcoming tour dates.

Praise for The Deer Tracks:
“David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors rise above any sort of cliché on the stunning ‘Yes This Is My Broken Shield’, which twinkles before bursting into a glorious geyser of sound.” NME
“To heighten this sense of eerie prettiness Deer Tracks combine folk-ishly delicate melodies with glitch techno techniques: twinkling keyboard lines that sound as though they’re being played on toy instruments (as per that other micro-genre, toytronica) are frequently interrupted by static and hiss, crackles and jumps.” The Guardian
“The Deer Tracks are actually at their best when their sound builds to something overbearing, if not crushing.” PopMatters
“The Swedish duo of David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors has a knack for crafting tunes that feature both elements of the freezing cold and shining, bright sun.” Prefix
