Heligoland - circa 2004.

If you’ve ever fallen in love with somebody who lives in neighboring street or distant city, a person you might see from time to time but hardly know, if at all, then these vivid and emotional memories of times and places have a perfect soundtrack in the music of Heligoland.

Originally formed in Melbourne, Australia before relocating to Paris, France, Heligoland are a band with a distinctive sound whose songwriting is richly atmospheric and evocative. Heligoland’s songs and sound have been compared to the atmospheric textures and soaring female vocals of the Cocteau Twins, the spartan soulfulness of Low and the wistful melancholy of Mojave 3.

To date Heligoland have released an EP, two 7″ singles and two albums “Shift These Thoughts” (Big Rig Records) and “A Street Between Us”. A third album “All Your Ships Are White” is set for release in late 2010. Of these releases, “Shift These Thoughts” in particular received much favourable press in Europe.

Heligoland have played live regularly for many years. During the band’s time in Australia they supported artists such as Art of Fighting, Sarah Blasko and Neil Halstead (Mojave 3). Since relocating to Europe the band’s touring schedule has encompassed concerts in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, Finland, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Czech, Latvia, Estonia and the UK, including numerous shows in Paris, Berlin and Hamburg and appearances at Divan du Monde in Paris and the Union Chapel in London.

Heligoland and Big Rig Records parted ways in 2005 after the release of Shift These Thoughts. Heligoland now live and play in Paris. A few copies of Shift These Thoughts are still available and can be purchased by sending us a message via our contact page .
