The Places is made up of Amy Annelle from “panhandles/plateaus/ponds” and plays “Acousmatic Tape Music”, as her MySpace page describes.
Songs for Creeps starts off with a collection of many different sounds on “Miners Lie!” with Annelle’s comforting voice steering us through the song. Annelle’s songs take us on a ride, and there are so many things to hear along the way. Take for instance, “The Natural Arc,” which feels like a long wait for a train ride that starts off slow and builds into a fast, churning locomotive with a rhythmic low-tuned acoustic strum.
