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)
