Artist Biography by Marcy Donelson
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. Releasing their self-titled debut in 1987, the group went through a few lineup changes over the years to follow, with Stephen and his brother Nick Duffy acting as core members. Their fourth long-player, 1991's Astronauts, hinted at the sound of Duffy's earlier solo career and prompted a hiatus while he went back to recording on his own. Claire Duffy -- then Claire Worrall -- joined the group beginning with their 1999 return, Looking for a Day in the Night, which locked into a gentle folk-rock. In 2006, near the end of a briefer four-year hiatus, their songs were covered on the Duffy/Lilac Time tribute album One Day One of These Fans Will Change Your Life, and the collection Memory & Desire: 30 Years in the Wilderness with Stephen Duffy & the Lilac Time followed in 2009. Not done yet despite the career retrospectives, their output in the 2010s included tenth album Return to Us, issued in 2019.
