“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 Deer Tracks is David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors, both children of the little Swedish town of Gävle. Despite their earlier success with respective projects (Leiah, Ariel Kill Him & Twiggy Frostbite), all roads led them into an electromagnetic mist of melodies and harmonic noise that later came to be called The Deer Tracks.

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.

Their new album will be out this summer but here is a free download of the song “The Smallest Cube” from The Archer Trilogy Pt. 1
