Led by Stephen Duffy after a brief brush with mainstream synthpop fame, The Lilac Time delivered their sophomore album as a beautifully understated masterclass in pastoral English folk-pop. 'Paradise Circus' relies heavily on acoustic guitars, accordion, and banjo, providing a warm, deeply nostalgic counterpoint to the synthetic trends of the era. The record is celebrated for its lush, romantic songwriting and intricate melodicism.
