Biography

(2000 – present)

Blackfield is a collaboratory music project by Porcupine Tree founder and lead singer Steven Wilson and Israeli rock singer Aviv Geffen. They have released three albums under the moniker: Blackfield and Blackfield II as equal partners, and Welcome to My DNA with Geffen taking a more dominant role. A fourth studio album, yet to be titled, is currently being worked on, with Wilson taking an even more passive role.

Formed after a meeting in 2000, the partnership blossomed into a cross-cultural collaboration called Blackfield.

Aviv had discovered Porcupine Tree in the mid ‘90s and followed their career development. In 2000 he invited the band to perform some concerts in Israel and met with Steven in London to discuss working together. Before long they had collaborated on the first Blackfield song. In 2001 the two met in a studio in Tel Aviv with the intention of recording a one-off EP.

The results of the session were so impressive however, that the EP was cancelled and the decision was made to continue writing and recording a full length album. Over the next 18 months the pair fitted in Blackfield writing and recording sessions whenever they could between their other commitments and finally in October 2003 the debut album was complete.

The collaborative songs alongside songs written by each separately brought a unique meeting of cultures, which resulted in the self titled album, which was hailed at the time as ‘hypnotically effective’ (Classic Rock) and ‘another strike of genius from Steven Wilson’ (Eclipsed).

    Well, it really sucks that the next album will not feature Wilson, but I just hope it's at least going to be better than the last one... 'Pills' sounds pretty good, and that's a great sign!

    It is funny that they where tagged as prog rock only because Steven Wilson is involved. It simply is really good Pop Rock, nothing else.

    Pretty good song, although I can imagine how much better it would have been with Steven Wilson on vocals. Guess that's something I should try to forget with the upcoming album.

    Some of their tracks are nice, but this band doesn't sound like anything new at all. I think Wilson is wasting his time on this mediocre project, he better focus on something more serious than this pop act.
