Their latest album ‘Blackfield V’<\/i>, was written and recorded over 18 months in both Israel and England, and contains 13 linked songs that form a flowing 45 minute ocean themed song cycle.? The duo expertly handle the vocals, guitars, and keyboards, with Tomer Z<\/strong> from the Blackfield<\/strong> band on drums, Eran Mitelman<\/strong> on keys, and string arrangements performed by the London Session Orchestra<\/strong>. ‘Blackfield V’<\/i> is a powerful journey through catchy melodies, lush arrangements, and stunning production, with legendary producer \/ engineer Alan Parsons<\/strong> working on three of the album\u2019s key tracks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pair make for a formidable musical force; Geffen has worked with legendary producers Tony Visconti<\/strong> and Trevor Horn<\/strong>, has played live with U2<\/strong> and Placebo<\/strong>, and is currently a judge on the Israeli TV show The Voice. Wilson, after a long tenure as the leader of the hugely influential band Porcupine Tree<\/strong>, has since embarked on a highly successful solo career, achieving 3 UK top 40 albums (the most recent also making the top 3 in Germany, and The Netherlands), and 4 Grammy nominations.<\/p>\n

For the release of their latest album ‘V’,<\/em> Blackfield<\/strong> revealed two music videos, created by long time collaborator Lasse Hoile (www.lassehoile.com<\/a>), for the Wilson-penned “From 44 to 48” and for “Lonely Soul”.<\/p>\n
