So yeah there's a million songs dealing with the heart and allusions of coldness or lack of loving capacity. But here's one that let's you forget about cliche's and feel something real for two minutes of bliss. Steady beat and a new take on an old classic elevate this simple track by Telekinesis, a project originally started solo by Michael Lerner. The band now includes several other members and has released a new album with an appropriately fuller sound.
Somehow I still find myself going back to this early work, intrigued and pleasantly surprised by the complexity of what is essentially an entire LP made by a one-man band. That album was made in collaboration with Chris Walla, of Death Cab for Cutie fame. There's a lot of great tracks there if you want to check it out. A good mix of upbeat and ambient tempos and lyrical content. We need more people like this, unafraid to challenge norms such as the 3 or 4 piece band.
