Notes
Holding down the bass vocal part in Triage with Sarah and Lorna, Amyellyn delivered the goods in harmony with these same singers to provide the heavenly choral wings that help “Down to the Mountain” – a curmudgeonly rejection of society with all its noise and strife – achieve lift off.
The time they all took to get these harmonies just exactly perfect really shows, and amidst that sweet blend you can hear Amyellyn’s voice, some element of her wry character ineluctably shining through, adding another layer of meta to the proceedings.
