The Deer Tracks, Low Leaf, Survival Guide
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Thee Parkside
(see times)
The Deer Tracks are a Northern Light Electronica duo from Sweden, and if they aren’t recording in one woodland cabin or another, they’re off-duty in their tiny hometown of Gävle, best known for burning an effigy of a goat every Christmas. David Lehnberg & Elin Lindfors are the only two constant pieces in the always evolving puzzle of The Deer Tracks. These two versatile multi-instrumentalists and singers, handle everything from writing to recording to production and even data recovery, depending on how badly behaved their way too-old computers are being. But they aren’t worried about the bumps and detours along the way. Says David: “The universe has its own way of course connecting.” 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 artifacts that adds bristles and grit to their relentless melodies.

Low Leaf is a singer and composer from Los Angeles, of Filipino heritage, who makes experimental pop music on piano, synthesizers, guitar, beats and most prominently – a big, beautiful harp. Yep, that’s right, a motherflipping harp. The instrument can be heard on virtually all of Low Leaf’s tracks, its tinkling arpeggios and sweeping glissandi contrasted with glitchy electronic drums and effects. All of which performed and programmed herself – a pretty mind boggling accomplishment. Live, she plays the harp with one hand, the piano with another, and sings, all the same time.

Survival Guide is comprised of Emily Whitehurst and Jaycen Mckissick. They began this project with a plan to have no real plan. To let go of the steering wheel. To be as creative as possible and to let those creations be what they are. To not rely on the past or to anticipate the future. To be in the moment and hopefully capture the sounds and feelings as they occur. To survive.
