Studio album from Aviv Geffen and Steven Wilson.
Written and recorded over a period of 18 months in both Israel and England (Studios – Pluto – Tel Aviv, Bardo – Tel Aviv, Sarm – London, Moonlight – Tel Aviv, No Man’s Land – Hemel Hempstead, Angel – London, Air Lyndhurst – London); Blackfield V contains 13 linked songs that form a flowing 45 minute ocean themed song cycle. With the pair expertly handling vocals, guitars, and keyboards, they brought in Tomer Z from the Blackfield band on drums, Eran Mitelman on keys, and string arrangements were performed by the London Session Orchestra. Blackfield V is a powerful journey through catchy melodies, lush arrangements, and stunning production, with legendary producer / engineer Alan Parsons working on three of the album’s key tracks.
The albums stunning artwork photography comes from long time collaborator Lasse Hoile with design courtesy of Carl Glover.
Both musicians consider Blackfield V to be their best collaboration to date. |
