The Lilac Time is a British indie rock band that formed in 1986 in Herefordshire, England.
“The original members are Nick and Stephen Duffy, with Claire Duffy who joined in 1999 and helped out immeasurably here by Ben Peeler. John Paterno returns to mix and master as he has done since No Sad Songs of 2015. Without conventional drums or bass their fondness for country and folk hues are clearer. These are unequivocally and absolutely the best songs Stephen Duffy has ever written in his twenty or so long playing album career. The first single release is A Makeshift Raft, a song that asks if those seeking freedom need drown, then ponders the inevitability of continuous wars. It praises the America of Allen Ginsberg before a few bars of yodelling…. the song is accompanied by a video created by Martin Carr.
They love being who they are and they love this album and they hope you will find time to dance till all the stars come down with them”.
The vinyl format we hold is out of print and hard to find – we have very few copies.
