For people out there that have never heard of you. Give us three reasons why they should?
1. We will show you how the northern lights and the Swedish trolls sounds like
2. You will be the first ones to hear the new material from our forthcoming trilogy
3. It wouldn’t be the same without you
Tell us a little about where you’re from. Do your surroundings affect the music that you create?
We are from a small town in Sweden and we get most of our inspiration from nothing, we find the beautiful melodies from the ugly reality and the noise comes from the total silence.
If you could have played on or written any song, what would it be?
Elin: Bonnie Tyler-Total Eclipse of the Heart
David: Erik Satie – Gymnopédie No.1
How did the band come in to being? And where did the name come from?
Elin: One day I found a record with one of David’s previous bands. While listening I felt very strongly that I should do the back up vocals. A few weeks later David showed up on one my gigs for the first time and after the show he told me that he wanted me to do the back up vocals on his new album. That resolved in creating a new project together which was obviously called The Deer Tracks. It couldn’t have been anything else but fate.
What is the most memorable gig you have played, and what can we expect of your live set at Ja Ja Ja?
Every gig is memorable to us in its own special way. Everyone can keep their expectations that they already have and we will make sure that each and everyone from the audience will have something extra in their hearts when they leave the venue.
If you were asked to curate your own Ja Ja Ja night, which three acts would you choose and why?
We would chose Ida Long, Caviar Days and Isobel & November because they are our friends but nevertheless make fantastic music.
We’d like you to make us a Nordic themed mix-tape. Which five tracks would you choose?
Caviar Days-The Awakening
LCTRISC – Last Kiss
Ida Long-Doll
Chikan – I Like You Better (When You’re Drunk)
Isobel & November-Ghost water Gospel
