“Anna-Molly,” released September 20, 2006, served as the lead single from Incubus’s sixth studio album Light Grenades. Written by Brandon Boyd, Mike Einziger, Ben Kenney, Chris Kilmore, and José Pasillas, it showcases the band’s blend of alternative rock energy and experimental textures, with shifting rhythms, layered guitars, and cryptic lyrics about searching for something—or someone—real amid uncertainty. The title is a play on “anomaly,” underscoring its theme of rarity and longing. Produced by Brendan O’Brien, the song topped Billboard’s Modern Rock chart in 2006, and its video, directed by Jamie Thraves, depicted a woman trapped between life and death.
