When the Sun Goes Down is the follow-up to Kieran Kane and Rayna Gellert's acclaimed debut, The Ledges. Recorded live at home, When the Sun Goes Down captures the duo's grounded, restrained playing and singing with a shimmering intimacy. With themes ranging from the achingly personal to the pointedly political, these new songs from Kane and Gellert illustrate their movement toward a more thorough synthesis of their musical backgrounds. Guitar, fiddle, banjo, and octave mandolin - in combination with their deeply affecting vocal blend - are employed in ways both evocative and modern.
