About

Telekinesis recently delivered a heartfelt and charming performance for a Tiny Desk Concert, despite being reduced to just singer-songwriter Michael Benjamin Lerner and guitarist Chris Staples for the event. The acoustic set showcased the band's sweetly awkward warmth, with a setlist that included the unreleased "Plankton" and standout tracks "Coast of Carolina," "I Saw Lightning," and "Rust" from their debut album. Telekinesis is an American indie rock project hailing from Seattle, with Michael Benjamin Lerner serving as the sole member who writes and performs most of the group's material. Their music is characterized by a perfect mix of guitar-driven crunch and good-natured fizziness, making it irresistibly likable. Signed to Merge Records, Telekinesis is definitely an act to watch, especially for fans of indie rock with a touch of effervescent hooks.
