In Studio: Telekinesis

Soundcheck | Mar 9, 2011

Michael Benjamin Lerner’s last recording session for Soundcheck was rather informal. It took place two years ago in a back alley in Austin, Texas, during the South by Southwest music festival – a few weeks before he released his debut album under the moniker Telekinesis. This is a video from his latest visit to the Soundcheck studios performing the song "50 Ways" from his second album, 12 Desperate Straight Lines.
