Heligoland

There are two acts called Heligoland: 1) Formed in 1999, Heligoland are a five-piece band originally from Melbourne, Australia now living in Paris, France that plays sparse, dreamy and evocative music. 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. Heligoland have recently finished recording a new album in Paris and Rennes which was produced and mixed by Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins / Violet Indiana).
