Well, maybe you prefer Arctic pop. Or Inuk indie… The truth is Nive Nielsen’s music is hard to pigeonhole. And that, quite literally in this case, goes with the territory. Nive is a ukulele wielding Inuit artist hailing from Greenland and one of the first in her country to try and do things the indie way. That is no mean feat, since her hometown, the capital city of Nuuk, does not boast any record stores, let alone underground ethics. It is so remote there aren’t even any roads connecting the towns. Go figure. Nive never dreamed of becoming a singer songwriter or a recording artist. It just happened. Well, just about. At some point she did some acting in Hollywood, where she shared a few scenes with Colin Farrell. Pretty cool, huh? But I guess you could say everything is kind of cool in Greenland. Nive Nielsen is not the seal hunting type, mind. In fact she graduated as a visual anthropologist from the University of London and, among other things, directed a documentary about traditional Greenlandic kayaks. The songs, usually adorned with folk or alt. country colorings, tend to come to her intuitively. They may be happy or scary, somewhat odd or downright silly, but they are always imaginative and just a tad different from anybody else’s. This makes her stand out in a world already replete with acoustic guitar strumming girl singers. As a songwriter, more often than not Nive Nielsen has her tongue stuck firmly in her cheek. Her musical vignettes are immersed with a quirky sense of humor and a positive life view. Nive’s multi-instrumentalist boyfriend Jan De Vroede helped her to knock the tunes into shape and to flesh out the arrangements during the harsh Greenlandic winter of 2008. While snowstorms were raging around their wooden house, they finished an impressive bunch of songs. The fifteen best ones would eventually end up on their self released debut album ‘Nive Sings!’. In order to cut the songs, Nive and Jan started travelling all over the world and called upon an impressive array of musician friends. The album was partly recorded and produced in Bristol (UK) by the great John Parish, who had worked with PJ Harvey. In ‘Pirate Song’ and ‘Done & Gone’ you can hear Nive Nielsen duetting with Howe Gelb of desert rock band Giant Sand. Among the North-American musicians taking part in the studio sessions were reed player Ralph Carney (Tom Waits), banjo man Matt Bauer (Alela Diane), the drummers Eric Craven (A Silver Mount Zion) and Patrick Carney (The Black Keys), saw player Lisa Gamble (HRSTA), bass and guitar player Giselle Webber (Hot Springs) and many more. Nive Nielsen cites Americana artists, mountain balladeers, blues musicians and old dusty 78’s as her key influences. But what makes ‘Nive Sings!’ such an unforgettable listening experience are of course the songs about ghosts, naughty reindeer, a boyfriend with a caffeine addiction or killing bugs with a vacuum cleaner Artist Nive Nielsen & The Deer Children Genre Rock And Pop Label Glitterhouse Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country UK Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Jana Horn The Window Is The Dream Rock And Pop | No Quarter | 1LP Released 7th April 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jana Horn The Window Is The Dream £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: No Quarter SKU: NOQ085LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Iron Butterfly In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Rock And Pop | Rhino Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th October 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Iron Butterfly In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino Atlantic SKU: 0603497837106 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Imelda May Love Tattoo Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th February 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Imelda May Love Tattoo £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1591 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Saxon Unplugged And Strung Up Metal / Classic Rock | UDR | 2LP Released 21st October 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Saxon Unplugged And Strung Up £19.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: UDR SKU: UDR0284LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 21st October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bruce Hornsby Absolute Zero Rock And Pop | Zappo Productions | 1LP Released 12th April 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bruce Hornsby Absolute Zero £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Zappo Productions SKU: ZAPPO0011 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Telekinesis Effluxion Rock And Pop | Merge Records | 1LP Released 22nd February 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Telekinesis Effluxion £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG674LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tim Kinsella Firecracker In A Box Of Mirrors Rock And Pop | Joyful Noise Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th May 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tim Kinsella Firecracker In A Box Of Mirrors £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Joyful Noise Recordings SKU: JNR170LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sting Nothing Like The Sun Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 2LP Released 26th September 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sting Nothing Like The Sun £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 3939121 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 26th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gotts Street Park Volume Two Rock And Pop | Blue Flowers | 1LP Released 12th March 2021 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gotts Street Park Volume Two £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Blue Flowers SKU: BFM020 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matt Dunkley Six Cycles Rock And Pop | Village Green | 1LP Released 11th March 2016 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt Dunkley Six Cycles £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Village Green SKU: VGLP018 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
