Features Song Lyrics for Telekinesis's 12 Desperate Straight Lines album. Telekinesis - 12 Desperate Straight Lines Album Lyrics. 1. Gotta Get It Right Now Lyrics.

On 12 Desperate Straight Lines, the guitars occasionally get abrasive, particularly on the stomper "Palm of Your Hand". But his approach could use some experimentation beyond just throwing in new wave guitar sounds, which sound foreign and out of place on the Cure-striving "Please Ask For Help".

Telekinesis covered ELO's "Can't Get It Out of My Head" for the American Laundromat Records charity album Sing Me To Sleep–Indie Lullabies, released May 2010. The band also covered Nirvana's "On A Plain" in 2011 for SPIN Magazine's exclusive tribute album, Newermind: A Tribute to Nirvana. 12 Desperate Straight Lines – Merge LP (2011). Dormarion – Merge LP (2013). Ad Infinitum – Merge LP (2015).

12DSL captures the moment I first played air guitar to Weezer’s The Blue Album, and proceeds to replicate its gloriously visceral delights ad infinitum.

For 12 Desperate Straight Lines, the songs are still there, only this time some of the looseness of the self-produced sessions comes into play and the end result ends up being a marked improvement.
