About Me |
|
| Biography Formed in Melbourne, Australia in the summer of 1999, Heligoland have released two albums and a number of singles to date. Heligoland relocated to Paris in early 2007 and now have something of an inter-contintental flavour to the lineup with the addition of France Cartigny (drums) and Stéphane Pigneul (guitar). To date Heligoland have played numerous shows, radio sessions and have been building a following in Paris as well touring Spain, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. Further tours to Belgium, Germany, central Europe and elsewhere are planned for the near future. Heligoland have just finished recording the band's third album in Paris and Rennes. The new was produced and mixed by Robin Guthrie . Recent Concerts 04/08 - Le Cleub, Paris 03/08 - Tour: Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland 03/08 - Fugues Festival, Paris, w/Robin Guthrie 01/08 - Divan du Monde, Paris, w/21 Love Hotel, Alexander Hacke 11/07 - Mecanique Ondulatoire, Paris, w/Object 11/07 - Tour: Portugal, Spain, France 09/07 - 1bis, Paris, w/Epic45 + side projects More information Press "Melbourne's Heligoland combine the emotive ethereality of The Cocteau Twins with the stark balladry of Low. Karen Vogts voice can rise from the vaguest smudge of a husky blues tone to a fragile flutter. Her whispered intonation sometimes threatens to crack on the extended notes but this lends Heligolands songs an otherworldliness which contrasts vividly with the more airy passages of chiming guitars and languorous reverberation." - The Wire (UK) "Le premier morceau de ces Australiens s’appelle Obelix et c’est certain : quand elle était petite, leur chanteuse Karen Vogt est tombée dans la marmite de potion magique. Il y restait un fond de LSD, mais aussi de l’éther et des sédatifs. Comment expliquer autrement la lenteur, la torpeur avec laquelle elle susurre ses chansons doucereusement psychédéliques ? Héritières directes des volutes et tourments autrefois dessinés par Mazzy Star, les Sundays ou les Cocteau Twins, ces mélopées à la poésie parfois nunuche ne sont pas égoïstes de leurs narcotiques : les écouter, c’est les consommer – sous Sarkozy, cette musique sera inscrite au tableau B des stupéfiants et son écoute sera passible de prison." - Les Inrockuptibles (FR) More information Links Virb.com YouTube Flickr Wikipedia Last.fm "Coming up for air" video produced and directed by Johnny Black (BlackLight Visuals). Song taken from Heligoland's second album "A street between us". "Nearly everything is new" video directed by The Credits. Song taken from Heligoland's second album "A street between us".
