ANNA-MOLLY - INCUBUS
“Anna-Molly,” the lead single from Incubus’ pending release “Light Grenades,” sounds like it’s crammed lots of jangly noisemakers. Besides Mike Einziger wrangling his guitar like it deserves punishment, Jose Pasillas II rides his cymbals as much as he beats the rest of his drums, and it sounds as though a concertina’s bellows are fluttering like a card in the spoke of a bicycle wheel. Ben Kenney has a great thunking bassline at the second verse — at least, we think that’s the bass and not the guitar, because the tuning makes it hard to tell. Every instrument is equally high in the mix, so you don’t know where to focus your hearing. This is song will pump you up like a Red Bull binge, so you might need to listen in moderation. Billboard
