Kscope went behind the scenes at Trevor Horn's studio in London whilst the trio, Aviv Geffen with Steven Wilson and producer Alan Parsons, were recording the newest Blackfield album - V. Aviv and Alan explain how all three of them came together, and what can be expected from the new record.

Written and recorded over a period of 18 months in both Israel and England, 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.

Facebook Update

pushed back until January 20th.

Unfortunately the release of the new Blackfieldalbum has been delayed, and Kscope have rescheduled it for 20th January. We apologise profusely for this, but it is due to circumstances beyond our control. Frustrating though it is, hopefully when you hear the album you will agree it was worth the wait! In the meantime we hope to bring you more audio and video preview material from the finished album soon.

why an album this long is a double lp? kind of surprising other than for vinyl thickness, etc.

From Facebook

Blackfield V will soon be available to pre-order. There will be a gatefold vinyl edition (on 2 LPs cut at 45rpm for maximum quality), a standard CD, and a deluxe CD/Blu-Ray edition.

Sounds intriguing, and like that write-up says, I agree that the 1st 2 albums were favorites or their best to me. Steven Wilson's involvement has a lot to do with that.



Steven Wilson's Facebook Page

Blackfield V will be released on 18th November byKscope, and sees a return to the full partnership that made the first two albums such firm favourites with fans. Written and recorded over a period of 18 months in both Israel and England, Blackfield V contains 13 linked songs that form a flowing 45 minute ocean themed song cycle. With Steven Wilson and Aviv Geffen expertly handling vocals, guitars, and keyboards, Tomer Z from the Blackfield band on drums, and string arrangements performed by the London Session Orchestra, the album is a powerful journey through catchy melodies, lush arrangements, and stunning production. Legendary producer / engineer Alan Parsons produced three of the album’s key tracks.

Both musicians consider Blackfield V to be their best collaboration to date. The album will be released by Kscope as a Digipack CD with a 16 page booklet, CD/Blu Ray with high resolution audio, and double vinyl.

Blackfield News: 5th LP Info

A couple of updates about their next record, which I suppose if Steven Wilson is more involved than on Welcome to My DNA or Blackfield IV, that could be a good thing. Those last 2 albums were honestly pretty forgettable; but the 1st 2 records are terrific.

And having Alan Parsons involved, along with being at Trevor Horn's studio are at least notable.

But it seems their next record could be coming in 2016.

It was a good week.
I was recording with Steven some more new songs for the Blackfield 5th album.
Sounds promising.
I would like to thank Trevor Horn who gave us his home studio.

Israel's leading counter-culture Rock musician Aviv Geffen returns with Blackfield IV, featuring Steven Wilson and other special collaborators. 

The new album includes guest vocal performances from Brett Anderson (Suede), Jonathan Donahue (Mercury Rev) and Vincent Cavanagh (Anathema).

Aviv contributed writing and vocals to Blackfield IV, while Steven Wilson - who also mixed the album and provided the 5.1 mix - added guitar and vocal parts. 

This is the limited double disc cd/dvd-av edition, presented in a digibook.

apparently for mixing reasons among others?, this album has been pushed back to November.

The news about a new Blackfield album isn't really all that new, as the below linked Twitter status is from November 20th. But the video stream below is for a new song titled "Pills."

And I may have not made as much time for another BF album, namely due to the fact their last record Welcome to My DNA was "forgettable" among other ways to describe it. And the fact Steven Wilson has stated more than once his involvement with Blackfield is even more limited, now not even being an official member. So, it really is just Aviv Geffen and whatever guests along with Steven Wilson in a much more limited role. I guess he sings on a few songs, and plays some guitar among a few other things (see Wikipedia or some recent SW interviews).

But "Pills" sounds pretty good actually. More textured and melancholy maybe than anything since the debut record.

And it's coming in April according to that post. Among the guest singers, one is Danny Cavanagh from Anathema. And I believe it'll be released on Kscope Music.

BF4 should be out around April,sounds really good and Steven worked on 5.1 mix as well..more details to follow pretty soon A

Samples. Some of these sound similar, a few a little different. I'm mildly intrigued, but I really hope this album has many new sides to this project.

If you use Twitter you can now follow Blackfield. There should be lots of announcements regarding the forthcoming album and tour dates soon. New official website will launch later this month.
Yes the album is called "Welcome to my DNA". All will become clear when you hear the title track...

Some more stuff to add later of course. This record is expected to be released in March. As that quote from Steven Wilson says, a new website, tour, etc all is coming.
