BLACKFIELD - Blackfield Ii (CD)

PORCUPINE TREE’S STEVEN WILSON & AVIV GEFFEN RE-ISSUE THEIR SECOND ALBUM AS BLACKFIELD

Blackfield is the collaboration between Israeli songwriter and musician Aviv Geffen, and British musician and producer Steven Wilson. Their second offering II, originally released in 2007, is a fan favourite alongside their debut serving as a high benchmark for all progressive music released since and includes the popular songs "My Gift of Silence", "Miss U" and "Once".

An experimental record of 10 superbly crafted songs of beauty, power and melancholia, Blackfield II is an exceptional production, full of glorious hooks, lush harmony vocals and edgy guitars. It will be released following the reissue of debut Blackfield, two months 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 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 sophomore album will be released on mid-price CD presented in digipack packaging complete with an 8-page booklet.
