Blackfield

Blackfield is a collaboration between Porcupine Tree leader Steven Wilson and Israeli pop star Aviv Geffen. After years of mutual admiration, the pair met to discuss a set of concert appearances in 2000 and, further drawn together by their similar interests in the classic rock albums of the '60s and '70s, wound up composing the first song under the Blackfield moniker. It would be another year before they reconvened in a Tel Aviv studio, and their plans to cut an EP soon ballooned into an 18-month period of sporadic writing and recording sessions, finally capped off, after further delays, by the release of Blackfield in early 2005. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
