Nive & The Deer Children

Nive Nielsen & The Deer Children share “My Mother’s Name”, the first single from a new album due in October on Glitterhouse Records — their first in a decade. Born in Nuuk and raised in an Inuit community in Greenland, Nielsen explores the themes of identity, socialisation, and strength of female lineage.

We catch up with the ever busy globetrotting Nive Nielsen of Nive and the Deer Children to talk about her new album. Plus we have an exclusive album stream of Feet First for you all to enjoy!

These songs are shape-shifting beasts that twist as soon as you think you’ve got them pinned down, and it is Nielsen’s bewitching voice and playful spirit at their centre which ensure that Feet First will take you to unexpected places, but in the most enjoyable way possible.

We have a stunning video premiere and Song of the Day from Nive & The Deer Children for ‘Tulugaq’ which is sung in her native Greenlandic tongue and features on her new album Feet First – released in the UK on 5th Feb 2016 via Glitterhouse Records.
