[Let's just take a sec
to appreciate that cow.
It's adorable!]

Esabelle Ryngin:

We actually had a big discussion during the planning stages of the album (the part where we decided the players would be the composers and the consorts would be the artists) about which player had what kind of consort a while before I ended up drawing this. I'm reasonably sure I missed that discussion, because I was pretty surprised to learn that the Cow, which I had chosen as my consort animal, was the very animal James had chosen for himself! Happy coincidences aside, I was pretty excited to work on this track (although I at first misunderstood that it wasn't supposed to be the alchemiter theme, which was embarrassing), since it's a bouncy, fun track, and I like that sort of thing!
