Blackfield is the collaborative project of Steven Wilson — founder of Porcupine Tree and one of progressive rock's most restless minds — and Aviv Geffen, the Israeli singer-songwriter and cultural icon whose career has made him one of his country's most celebrated musicians. The two met in the late 1990s, recognised a shared melodic sensibility, and began writing together across the distance between London and Tel Aviv.
What emerged was something neither could have made alone: songs that sit at the intersection of pristine pop songwriting and art-rock atmosphere — melancholy, luminous, and immediately recognisable.
The Music
- 2004Debut album Blackfield released — lush strings, hushed vocals, a fully formed sound from the first track.
- 2007Blackfield II deepens the palette with darker textures and more expansive arrangements.
- 2011Welcome to My DNA marks a bolder, more rhythm-driven chapter.
- 2013IV — a Wilson-led record of spare, intimate songwriting.
- 2017V reunites both writers in full creative partnership.
- 2022For the Music released — the band's sixth studio album.
Across those records the core sound holds: melodies that linger, production that breathes, and lyrics that treat sadness not as a problem to solve but as something worth sitting with.
Why This Archive Exists
