Blackfield II is the second collaboration between Porcupine Tree leader Steven Wilson and Israel's Aviv Geffen. Over the past few years, Steven Wilson's Porcupine Tree have made the transition from a solo project to genuine international stars with their last album, Deadwing, selling over 100, 000 worldwide. Aviv Geffen is Israel's leading counter culture rock musician. A huge star in his native country, while his outspoken political views have caused huge controversy his records have been greeted with equal amounts of adulation, earning him a string of gold albums. This record re-unites Aviv and Steven in the follow up to 2004's hugely acclaimed debut, which was hailed at the time as 'hypnotically effective' and 'another strike of genius from Steven Wilson'. Blackfield II, recorded in Tel Aviv and London and produced and mixed by Steven Wilson, continues and expands on the band's orchestrated melancholic rock sound, combining great hooks, sweeping strings, explosive guitars, and lush vocal harmonies.
