Telekinesis “Empathetic People”

Michael Benjamin Lerner does pretty much everything in Telekinesis, but he’s a drummer first and foremost, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that the percussion is often the most expressive element of his compositions. Listen to “Empathetic People” – the riffs and hooks are up front, but that passionate, insistent beat is what makes it feel urgent and emotional, not the guitar tone or his gentle tenor voice. He can’t help but sound sweet and even-keeled as a singer, so his drumming brings out the emotional urgency in his songs, especially the ones that are so firmly rooted in anxiety.
