The group's only permanent member, Michael Benjamin Lerner, writes songs that exude loneliness, heartache and the dizzying grief of dysfunctional relationships. But his agony is packaged in tightly wound, unabashedly upbeat pop songs. Misery has never sounded so worthy of company. Telekinesis first broke through with a self-titled album — actually, it's called Telekinesis! The title of the band's new follow-up, 12 Desperate Straight Lines, says a lot about the music. On the surface, the dozen tracks are fairly simple, straightforward bubblegum rock, each clocking in at a cozy two and a half to three minutes, but they exude desperation.

Against a backdrop of buzzing guitars, bouncing beats and occasional ambient effects, Lerner sings about unrequited love, depression and hopelessness. The result i s noisier than the band's first record, with none of the gentle acoustic numbers Lerner sprinkled throughout Telekinesis! But the added grit makes the mix more compelling. I see these songs as a celebration of life's low points, and I'm glad Telekinesis has invited us to the party.

Things that will be hot in music in spring/summer 2012 include teenage white boys and old black men making intentionally awkward R & B for weird people to make strange babies to. I’m also anticipating everyone to fall back in love with Kanye West, and I want to see how Flosstradamus survives a summer while wearing hoodies on main stages of summer festivals.

If I’m Josh and Curt, I’m doing a LOT of cardio right now. Gonna be a LONG ASS summer for those dudes. I’m also hoping that Darius Rucker makes some really great jug band music so that the goddamned Lumineers will shut up.

Hopefully someone takes the trend of overbooked and entirely too expensive EDM festivals on a long walk off a short pier this summer. When PLUR meets CASH, everything gets fucked up. You can’t monetize emotions without suddenly making everyone feel generic, shitty and dumb. I actually applaud Coachella for doing the right thing and booking exactly who and what they want to book and not kowtowing to pressure to be big, rich, bloated and stupid.
