BLACKFIELD:
INSPIRED COLLABORATION FEATURING BRITISH MUSICIAN/PRODUCER STEVEN WILSON OF PORCUPINE TREE AND ISRAELI SINGER/SONGWRITER AVIV GEFFEN
Poignant second CD Blackfield II to be released on Atlantic March 6
NOV. 17, 2006--On March 6, Atlantic Records will release Blackfield II, a disc of 10 new songs by acclaimed duo Blackfield, combining great hooks, sweeping strings, explosive guitars, and lush vocal harmonies.
Formed in 2001 after a meeting between Porcupine Tree frontman/producer Steven Wilson and Israeli singer/songwriter Aviv Geffen, the partnership blossomed into a cross-cultural collaboration as an exceptional new duo, Blackfield.
Now, following a series of new recording sessions in Israel and the UK between February-June 2006, the two have reunited for the hypnotic Blackfield II, a collection of rich, melancholy-tinged rock songs, produced by Wilson himself. For a good example of the pair’s atmospheric melodies coupled with witty lyrics, check out “Christenings,” a song about a chance meeting in a record store of a former star (with echoes of Syd Barrett):

Aviv Geffen is a highly successful solo artist and outspoken peace campaigner, and has a string of gold albums in Israel. The band is rounded out by Daniel Salomon on Piano, Seffy Efrati on Bass and Tomer Z - on Drums.
