How does Part 3 of The Archer Trilogy compare with the first two segments? I think it has a "more of everything" vibe over it. Everything from rhythms, melodies, vocals, arrangements and spiritual flow are taken to other dimensions where we never been before. Like a natural progression. You want to end it with a [...]
The Deer Tracks: The Archer Trilogy pt 3
Fans of distinctly Scandinavian electro-pop — and what is it about the icier regions, anyway? - will warm up to the Deer Tracks , a Swedish duo who fashion playful, synth-based soundscapes that somehow sound organic rather than machine-made. Singer/multi-instrumentalists David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors, who hail from Gävle, Sweden, just finished the final of a trifecta of releases, "The Archer Trilogy Pt. 3," that highlights their lithe melodies and weirdly cool orchestration. ||| Stream: "Lazarus" and "W": ||| Live: The Deer [...]
Canberra turns 100 this year and this long weekend marks its birthday party. 100 is pretty young when you consider that "neighbouring" cities Sydney and Melbourne are nearly twice as old. Many overseas eroneously believe that Melbourne is the capital of Australia. Not the biggest error considering it was our capital until 100 years ago. It is perhaps because of the decision to make this move that Canberra bares the brunt of insults like 'Canberra: a good sheep paddock ruined' and 'hell is empty and all the devils are here'. Sure, the satellite city's sprawling districts are divided with paddocks. [...]
David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfor are the Swedish duo behind The Deer Tracks who style their music as "Northern Lights Electronica" which is perfect because that's exactly how their music sounds. It flashes and gleams in and out of view like the aurora borealis themselves, a rare and remarkable sound that focuses in vivid contrasts. “The universe has its own way of course connecting,” says Lehnberg of the pair's musical projects, which feature an ever-rotating cast of collaborators, he and Lindfor are the only two constant members. In their video for "Divine Light" figures entwine and entrance [...]
Over the next 10 days, more than a quarter-million of motivated artists and industry personnel will descend upon Austin. New York musicians will speed 26 hours and 1,500 miles to Texas’s capital, while Los Angeles filmmakers will make the three-hour flight into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Some start-ups will walk to the festival, while other musicians will travel halfway around the globe. They all come for one purpose: the 27th annual South By Southwest . The 10-day festival, which includes music, film, and interactive segments, unites credential-wearing hordes in a party-hopping, buzz-building extravaganza. Some registrants will partake in [...]

Frank Yang The nice thing about having written about Swedish duo The Deer Tracks at length over over the past ten months is that rather than bother with any preamble, I can just point you to those past pieces and get right to it. I honestly hadn't expected them to return to town so soon after NXNE last year , not because they didn't want to but because of the economic realities of small international acts trying to tour this continent. But with the [...]
The Deer Tracks : Divine Light - Video
Säga vad man vill, men man kan inte hävda att Gävlebandet The Deer Tracks saknar mod eller självförtroende. I en tid när albumformatet hänger på fallrepen väljer de att göra en musikalisk trilogi bestående av en EP och två fullängdsalbum, plus en 40 minuter lång prolog (i ett enda spår, för övrigt). Kaxigt, säger vissa, underbart säger andra. Jag hör till den andra gruppen. Bara deras ambition är värd så mycket, och på sätt och vis blev jag övertygad bara genom att höra talas om detta mastodontprojekt. Jag uppskattade idén så mycket att det inte spelade så stor roll hur [...]
Angel Ceballos The serial as a form of structure is hardly uncommon in art these days; it's the standard for television, has been used as long as books have been published, and is increasingly the norm in cinema. In popular music, however, it's almost the complete opposite - the three-minute single - which remains the fundamental unit of currency. But don't tell that to Gävle, Sweden's The Deer Tracks - the duo of David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors have spent the last two years crafting an epic song cycle they've called The Archer Trilogy , [...]
Completing a trilogy and committing to that format is no easy task, for the best of musicians. The Deer Tracks have completed their Archer Trilogy with their latest release, and instead of it heralding an end, it really does seem to shine through as the start of something pretty impressive. So sure, we have a Swedish electro-duo, and, yes, they aren't called the Knife. Whereas the Knife went from playful electronic dance-rockers to art-house experimental techno in a heartbeat (I'm so, so sorry), the Deer Tracks have evolved their staple of electro-pop [...]

On their new album, “The Archer Trilogy Pt. 3,” The Deer Tracks manage to run the gamut of indie pop variations, from futuristic, avant-garde tracks to more straightforwardly poppy songs. While this variety could become overly chaotic and disconnected, the album as a whole finds its foundation in the band’s ability to expertly, effortlessly layer sounds. The record is a well-executed exhibition of The Deer Tracks’ enviable talent for building upbeat, elaborate tracks that manage to not sound overworked or stiff. On “Divine Light,” sci-fi and surreal digital effects contrast the soft and feminine vocals to create an [...]
Just as life was feeling monotonous, The Deer Tracks flew in from Sweden to throw some pixie dust, transforming what would have been a night in with my computer to an evening of audio-visual splendor. The “Northern Light” electronica duo released the third segment of the “The Archer” trilogy last week and has chosen Portland as the starting point of their North American tour. Only discovering their existence couple of months ago, I scarcely had the time to get myself familiar enough with their music to know what to expect. But being a Nordic music-phile, I knew crawling out of [...]
Swedish duo The Deer Tracks provide atmospheric melodies with haunting vocals.
The duo David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors in The Deer Tracks are back with the third and last part of their album trilogy in that they released "The Archer Trilogy Pt. 33 a week ago. It's a very beautiful, snow sparkling journey from minimalistic, magical ambiences to exuberant arena fanfares. Sweet, creative and unmistakably The Deer Tracks. Here are two tracks from the album.

On the final installment of their three-part debut, The Deer Tracks shed their doe eyes. While The Archer Trilogy Pt. 2 twitched around stilted epics, eerie lullabies, and acerbic pop bursts, Pt. 3 funnels the Swedish duo's itchy wanderlust into a series of sinewy organisms. Despite the menace teased in its title and cover art, The Archer Trilogy maintains a playful innocence throughout. The fear of an invisible enemy - the archer behind the tracks - might serve as seed for these effervescent electro-pop songs, but it's the [...]
