The fascination with nostalgic imagery, memories, and items indicative of retro throwback has inundated realms of social media, graphic posters at Urban Outfitters and the ambient music of Apple commercials.

Michael Lerner, singer, drummer, and the one man behind Telekinesis compresses this sentimentality into his pop-infused reflection, creating a sound that applauds its place among its culture, but still laughs on the joy ride with you. Plus, the man knows how to wield his fingers on the electric guitar. Songs to check out: “Car Crash” and “Please Ask For Help.”
