    ‘Almost A Sunset ‘, the seventh album from Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman, is a collection of thoughtful, varied songs that range from re-worked traditional ballads to the off-piste storytelling style that has become their trademark.
    It has been five years since the last offering from the popular husband and wife duo Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman and their new album proves that the wait was very much worth it. It’s a ‘tour de force’ of musical and lyrical surprises.
    Recorded at Devon-pace in their studio on Dartmoor over the course of a year, the couple explore favourite characters, childhood memories and deep emotion to pull together a collection of songs that demonstrate their musical versatility, a sharp interest in the world around them and their own unique perspective on the folk genre.

about

For Mary Shelley and the writing of a literary classic.

lyrics

When it’s cold outside, tell a story to pass the time
When it’s dark outside, you tell yours and I’ll tell mine
The fields stand empty, frozen hard
The horses starve in the stable yard
And the bright sun was extinguished

We’re safe in here so tell me something to freeze my heart
Wrap me up in fear, hold me close as the story starts
The fire is low and the room is dim
The perfect time for you to begin
In the year without a summer

So close your eyes, do you still see light as the fire dies?
The time will come when we feel the heat from the hidden sun

What makes a man? Is it more than flesh and blood and bone
What makes a man? What desire drives him home?
The certain knowledge we all belong, to choose the path between right and wrong
In the year without a summer
