Blackfield, the collaboration between Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Israeli artist Aviv Geffen, have announced a North American release of their new album as they kicked off their European tour last night (April 6th) in Leamington. This is the first of four dates in the UK before visiting Holland, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and France followed by an American tour in May and June
Welcome To My DNA, the band's latest album will be released April 19th in the US (and is already in stores overseas). The album entered the UK indie chart at #17 and has been getting great reviews.
if you still have any questions about the album then Aviv has agreed to take part in a special Q&A session before the band's gig in London on Friday 8th April. Fans should email questions to thisisnotacompetition@kscopemusic.com (along with their name and where they are from) and Aviv will be filmed answering the questions and the video will be added to the Welcome To My DNA mini-site soon after. Deadline for questions is 10am (UK) on Friday 8th April.
