Michael Benjamin Lerner’s unfettered take power-pop shone brightly on the first Telekinesis album – one of my favorite energy drinks of 2009 – and now, surrounded by a new cast of cohorts including Jason Narducy (Robert Pollard band, Verbow) and Cody Votolato (Jaguar Love, the Blood Brothers), he’s taken the first step toward a sophomore release. Telekinesis’ new EP, “Parallel Seismic Conspiracies,” came out today on Merge, offering the new “Dirty Thing” (that Spencer Getz’s video, above), as well as a do-over from the first album, “Calling All Doctors,” and a Guided by Voices cover.
