Comments: Recording as The Deer Tracks, the Swedish duo of David Lehnberg and Elin Lindfors craft extremely interesting, synth-driven songs that hint at some of the best in Scandinavian music, from the mindbending electropop of The Knife to the experimental flare of Björk--a comparison that's undoubtedly helped along by Lindfors' playfully sweet vocals.

From The Guardian: "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."
