Release Notes:
Two years back and forth on the London-Tel-Aviv
flight path, a mutual artistic curiosity, and a
close friendship are the components that gave birth
to Aviv and Steven's Blackfield project. The
collaborative songs alongside songs written by each
separately brought a unique meeting of cultures,
which resulted in a sophisticated, melodic and
melancholic rock album. Aviv and Steven spent the
rest of 2005 writing new material and working on
their own projects, but in early 2006 Steven moved
to Israel for 6 months to enable Blackfield to work
on a new album. As on the first album both
songwriters composed original songs for Blackfield,
but also a few of Aviv's songs previously recorded
in Hebrew as a solo artist were selected and
translated into English. This time the record was
made in one short burst of activity (unlike the
sporadic sessions for the first album that spanned 2
years). Using the now established 5 piece Blackfield
band line up, the resulting album Blackfield II has
a stronger sense of direction and power, and is
described as "a collection of 10 perfectly crafted
songs of beauty and melancholia, combining great
hooks, sweeping strings, explosive guitars, and lush
vocal harmonies."
