Blackfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blackfield is a music group, a collaboration between Porcupine Tree founder and lead singer Steven Wilson and Israeli Rock superstar Aviv Geffen.
Geffen, a fan of Porcupine Tree and Wilson, invited the band to play shows in Israel in 2000. He struck up a friendship with Wilson, leading to the two musicians recording together. Originally planned as an EP for a 2001 release, the band's debut album blossomed into a full-length recording, and was released in Israel and Europe in 2004, and the United States in 2005.
Apart from eight original songs, the band also covered two of Geffen's earlier songs ("Scars" and "Cloudy Now", translated into English by Wilson), and Porcupine Tree's "Feel So Low", which Geffen had recorded in Hebrew previously.
Wilson and Geffen are currently recording a follow up album, to be released later this year.
