The story behind the song

"Anna Molly" plays on the word "anomaly" and describes a woman who may or may not exist in real life. This sense of an elusive, perhaps imagined, figure is central to the song's atmosphere. It features the unique sound of a Marxophone, a fretless zither, adding to its distinctive character. The song appeared on the band's sixth album, Light Grenades. At its heart, it evokes the feeling of searching for something or someone just out of reach.
