Yes Deer

Yes Deer is a thunderous and hyper expressive free jazz trio. It's the sound of cells in ecstasy, and collective physical momentum, that aims for the libido before the intellect and takes a mesmerizing hold of the listener. 

Yes Deer was formed in 2011 by Sweden-based saxophonist Signe Dahlgreen, Norwegian guitarist Karl Bjorå, and Danish drummer Anders Vestergaard. Since then they have released 3 albums: "The Talk of Tennis" (2014), "Get Your Glitter Jacket" (2016) and "Gloss" (2018) and toured extensively in Europe, North America and Japan. 

From 2021 Signe Dahlgreen left the trio to focus on other things and in 2022 the Oslo based saxophonist Signe Emmeluth joined the trio.
