Latest News & Upcoming Releases
New Heligoland Recordings
Heligoland recently travelled to the Franche-Comté region in south-east France for a week long residence at a small theatre in the town of Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne.
After seven days of of writing, arranging and perhaps a little too much raclette and vin du jura the band had five new songs finished and recorded.
The songs are currently being mixed for a release tentatively scheduled for spring/summer this year.
These new songs are the band's first recordings with new drummer Antti Mäkinen.
Release date: TBC
Heligoland Film Project
For the last few months Heligoland have been working on a project with a group of filmmakers to create a set of accompanying films and videos for each of the tracks on the band's new album “All Your Ships Are White.”
Here are the first two videos created for the project by film-makers in France and Finland.

More news on this project coming soon. In the meantime, be sure to keep an eye on the Heligoland website for further updates as the project progresses.
Oliver Peel Session #37
Heligoland played at “Oliver Peel Session #37”, the latest in a long-running series of apartment shows in Paris.
Heligoland's set ranged across the band's catalogue from brand new just-recorded songs to several songs each from ‘All Your Ships Are White’ and the forthcoming ‘Bethmale’ EP as well as some very old songs that hadn't seen the light of day in quite some time.
The concert was filmed by Le Cargo. Here's a video from the concert of “Herringbone”, a song from Heligoland's debut album ‘Shift These Thoughts’.
