"Fly From Heaven" comes from Dulcinea, Toad the Wet Sprocket's 1994 album, and it's the band doing what they do best: earnest, ringing folk-rock with a hymn-like pull. Glen Phillips wrote the words and shaped the music with the rest of the band, and he sings it with Todd Nichols, the two of them also trading guitars while Dean Dinning plays bass, adds keyboards and harmonies, and Randy Guss keeps a patient beat underneath.
Gavin MacKillop produced, recorded and mixed it, and he gives it a warm, clear, uncluttered sound, the kind of record that grows louder in your head than it is on the speakers.
