Blackfield is the collaboration between Israeli songwriter and musician Aviv
Geffen, and British
musician and producer Steven Wilson. Their self-titled debut, originally
released in 2004, is a fan favourite serving as a high benchmark for all
progressive music released since and includes the popular singles “Hello”,
“Pain”, “Blackfield” and “Cloudy Now”.
An experimental record of rich, emotional melodies and lyrics, Blackfield will be released one month after Steven Wilson's upcoming fifth solo album ‘To The Bone’, and after the Blackfield's fifth release ‘V’ in February earlier this year. The second album, ‘Blackfield II’, also previously sold out due to popular demand, will be given a new reissue in October.
The pair makes for a formidable musical force; Geffen has worked with legendary producers Tony Visconti and Trevor Horn, has played live with U2 and Placebo, and is currently a judge on the Israeli TV show The Voice. Wilson, after a long tenure as the leader of the hugely influential band Porcupine Tree, has since embarked on a highly successful solo career, achieving 3 UK top 40 albums (the most recent also making the top 3 in Germany, and The Netherlands), and 4 Grammy nominations.
This edition of Blackfield's debut album will be presented in 180g heavyweight audiophile vinyl
