Steven Wilson Sets Release Of New Album 'Blackfield'

(Prog) Steven Wilson has confirmed that the fifth Blackfield album will arrive on November 18 via Kscope. He's also gearing up for a general release of limited-edition 2015 solo record Transience, complete with an additional track, and a fresh run of tour dates.

Despite stepped back from Blackfield in 2009, and announcing a full departure in 2014, Wilson describes his latest work with Aviv Geffen as "a return to the full partnership that made the first two albums such firm favourites with fans."

He adds: "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, 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.

"Alan Parsons produced three of the album's key tracks. Both musicians consider Blackfield V to be their best collaboration to date." Read more here.
