The Deer Tracks, the Northern Light Electronica duo from Sweden is revealing the third part, the final puzzle piece of their "The Archer Trilogy", released entirely on US label The Control Group. When I asked the band about the purpose of creating a trilogy David told me that it was a way of digging deep down in their creative minds, and that the only way of doing that was to record a lot of music during a long period of time. Letting it grow and slowly become you.

"From the beginning it was just an experiment, but it developed into a new way of thinking", says Elin. "-The Archer is an invisible force that triggers its surroundings. Every situation, event, and story is an arrow that falls down and circulates around you. Whether you choose to, or get hit by accident, the arrowhead that pierces your body transforms to an impression a puzzle piece, that finds a place in your inner puzzle. Together they form an image that slowly changes and develops with each piece that joins. When working with this trilogy, we've been two human targets who've thrown ourselves towards every arrow, letting it them penetrate us with imagination and reality. In return it became the songs of this trilogy and like arrows they will find you if you let them in."

David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors are the only two non changing pieces in the always evolving puzzle of The Deer Tracks. Two versatile multi-instrumentalists and singers, they handle everything from writing to recording to production and even data recovery. But they aren't worried about the bumps and detours along the way. Says David: "The universe has its own way of course correcting."

For many years they've been on and off recording in one woodland cabin after another, in their tiny hometown of Gävle, best known for its coffee-and for burning an effigy of a goat every Christmas. While working on the third and final part of The Deer Tracks "The Archer Trilogy", they finally found a physical home for recording and creating their music in an old pasta factory.

"We've always had a desire of incorporating nature in our music," says Elin "Growing up in small village, the forest and the sea has always been the place for imagination, creativity and fear. Even though we aren't located as far from civilization as before, we still get a big portion of inspiration from the nature that's captured in our memory.

They began collaborating in David's DIY basement studio where they recorded their debut album "Aurora", the following EP "Eggegrund" was recorded on the small island Eggegrund and while sampling the raw and windy sounds of the Island, they created the song "Bless The Waves" that was featured in Grey's Anatomy. (both recordings release on a Swedish indie record label Despotz Records).

They even got together in the first place based on pure serendipity. While David and Elin already had musical projects of their own it was a chance meeting at one of Elin's shows that later started The Deer Tracks: "I saw her playing and thought, 'Wow, I want her to sing!" says David.

After excessive touring in Europe and Japan, in the 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 the first two parts of their epic The Archer Trilogy.

For breaks, Elin would splash through a nearby stream and return soaking-wet to record. When their hard drive repeatedly crashed, David would fish through whatever digital fragments were left and stitch together brand-new songs. Cacophony and melody are their two favourite things, they say. On The Archer Trilogy, the otherworldly experimentation collides with the propulsive danceability-but then fractured and kaleidoscoped thanks to The Deer Tracks' own unique inspirations and way to think of music.

"We play with everything we can get our hands on!" says David. "Small music boxes, glockenspiels, forks, coffee mugs, pretty much whatever is laying around-we try to build our own instruments in a way., but their main focus have been on finishing the trilogy. Recording new ideas in the backseat of the tour van, at hotel rooms, backstage before shows was a way for them to make it possible. "Touring is very intense and it helps to channel all new impressions and Take small parts from one to put with another and make a special sound. It's like a big puzzle."

2011-2012 has been a busy time for the band touring around Europe, Japan, Canada, USA emotions through being creative" says Elin

Their songs often stride fearlessly into the forest primeval armed with a stuttering beat and a rattling arsenal of percussion and somehow they blend them all together with other natural found sounds and deliberately lo-fi digital artefacts that add bristles and grit to their relentless melodies. They don't like to reveal too much about their lyrics, they say-but that one's less about love than a famous mathematician. Says Elin: "Even though I can write about others' history, in every history I can find the history of myself," says Elin. "Every character and every situation-it's easy to make it your own."

"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 it when there's not an ending."
