Transmitting from some retro-futuristic soda fountain, “Annabelle” addresses its titular character with feigned indifference before launching into an earnest chorus. The song purposefully blurs the line between sweet and schmaltzy, just as its production blends psychedlia and 1950s waltz-rock. Now’s a great time to dust off that baby blue tuxedo.
