Lilac Time

After establishing a solo career under both his own name and the moniker Tin Tin, Stephen Duffy put together the Lilac Time, which traded his former synth pop excursions for pastoral English pop.

After releasing their self-titled debut in 1987, their fourth long-player, 1991's Astronauts, hinted at the sound of Duffy's earlier solo career, while 1999's Looking for a Day in the Night locked into gentle folk-rock.

In 2006, their songs were covered on the Duffy/Lilac Time tribute album One Day One of These Fans Will Change Your Life.
