An expressive mix of lively field recordings, tiny and massive electronics and sparkling relocations. The docker barks out aloud, the little insect crawls through the 19th century woodworker's atelier, forgotten voices vanish and the rest is no silence.

A "pop concrète" collage. Rhythm is the cornerstone of The Dancing Deer in an 18 minutes pathway through diverging states, it brings together elements of drones, clicks, mini/max/imal, song writing, poetry, post-rock, electronic, instrumental and musique concrète in a strange and uncommon atmospheric collage. The project is a musical translation of a couple months spent in the Canadian West.

Sonic landscapes and slow textures meet with precise articulations, all this resting on a minimal orchestration made of guitars, brass instruments, vibes, accordions and strings. In short: a stimulating record, a remarkable attention to detail and excellent production quality, making for an unfailingly rewarding listening experience.
