Les Rivages

Hélianthème

Abordez l'Artimon !! · 2026

French folk band Hélianthème bring folklore and a love of nature together on Les Rivages, a song inspired by fairies, dreams and the beauty of the natural world. Created to celebrate Samhain, the release carries a sense of imagination and wonder while expressing the band's connection to the landscapes that surround them. The accompanying video was filmed entirely in the heart of Fontainebleau, a setting that gives the project an additional environmental dimension. Following the forest fires that affected the area during the summer, the release also serves as a declaration of love for nature and a reminder of the importance of protecting the places that inspire us. Formed in 2022, Hélianthème have developed their identity through an extensive live journey, performing more than a hundred street shows across France. These experiences have helped shape a musical approach that brings together poetry, folk influences and the direct energy of live performance. The band introduced its music with the EP Épique la Baleine ! in June 2025, establishing a bright folk sound inspired by the sun-loving flower behind its name. With Les Rivages, Hélianthème continue to build on that identity, combining storytelling and a strong connection to nature in a release that celebrates imagination, dreams and the natural world.
