Our Take

Telekinesis, the project of Seattle-based Michael Benjamin Lerner, returns with their third album "12 Desperate Straight Lines," and it's a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish.

From the upbeat opening track "You Turn Clear in the Sun" to the melancholic closer "Please Ask for Help," Lerner takes listeners on a journey through heartbreak, self-reflection, and everything in between. The album's title may suggest desperation, but there's nothing desperate about the way Lerner effortlessly weaves together catchy hooks and poignant lyrics.

Tracks like "Car Crash" and "Country Lane" showcase Lerner's ability to craft infectious melodies that stick in your head for days, while songs like "50 Ways" and "I Got You" delve into more introspective territory, offering a glimpse into Lerner's inner thoughts and struggles.

With its mix of indie rock sensibilities and pop hooks, "12 Desperate Straight Lines" is a testament to Lerner's songwriting prowess and ability to craft songs that are both catchy and emotionally resonant. So grab your headphones, press play, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the ups and downs of love and life.
