Song of the Day - July 22, 2005

The nucleus of The Places is Amy Annelle. I have featured her exquisite vocals before, but not with her band The Places. This recording dates from 2001, but sounds just as good today, as I am sure it did in 2001. The track "Mission Impossible" opens with a snippet of a female voice from what sounds like the 50's and other found sounds. The guitars enter with an eerie tone, along with Amy's haunting vocals, while an accordion plays in the background. The whole effect is one of sinister doom. The song is drenched in atmosphere.
