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, Lithuania and Belgium. Further tours to Germany, central Europe and elsewhere are planned for the near future.

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)

The Bree Van de Kamp’s



Nov 4 2009 4:31 PM

Résumé des épisodes précédents : Les avis sont partagés au sein du groupe quand aux influences réelles de nos amis musiciens. JL assume Gérard Lenorman comme déclencheur de son goût pour la scène. Sofff voue un culte immodéré à Mylène Farmer. Paco décroche son Téléphone et Pedro fredonne la Compagnie Créole… Snifff (le chat) de son côté se repasse en boucle la 7ème symphonie de Beethoven dirigée par Furtwängler au Royal victoria Hall en 1949. Palem seul considère que Sonic Youth est le chaînon manquant. Est il le dernier des rockeurs ? Pour ce qui est de la direction artistique des nouveaux morceaux le mystère restera donc entier… Vous en saurez plus au Rigoletto le 14 novembre pour un concert plein de nouveautés, en compagnie des splendides Twins sisters et des non moins magnifiques Bagro’s (337 rue de Belleville 75019 Paris métro Porte des Lilas, à partir de 20h, 5 euros seulement mais c’est une peccadille).
