The Lilac Time’s fourth album, Astronauts, emerged during a vibrant era of shoegaze and baggy music movements. Released in 1991, this album stands apart from the trends of its time, showcasing the unique vision of songwriter Stephen. While the album didn’t align with the prevailing sounds of grunge or shoegaze, it is hard to imagine a more perfect outcome than what we received.
With memorable choruses that resonate like the notes from a cherished transistor radio, Astronauts features tracks such as:
- In Iverna Gardens
- Hats Off Here Comes the Girl
- Fortunes
- A Taste for Honey
- Grey Skies and Work Things
- Finistère
- Dreaming
- The Whisper of Your Mind
- The Darkness of Her Eyes
- Sunshine’s Daughter
- North Kensington
- Madresfield
This album is a treasure for fans of indie music and stands as one of the best shoegaze albums of the 1990s.
