Based in Seattle, Lerner handled most of the instrumental duties on his band's debut, Telekinesis!, which was produced by Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla and released in spring 2009. Telekinesis then launched a tour in support of the record, with auxiliary members Chris Staples, David Broecker, and Jonie Broecker filling out the lineup. On the 2010 EP Parallel Seismic Conspiracies, Lerner took over production duties, but for his next full LP, 12 Desperate Straight Lines, he was back to working with Walla. For the tour that accompanied the release, Lerner formed a new band with Jason Narducy on bass and Cody Votolato on guitar. Lerner's third outing under the Telekinesis moniker, 2013's Dormarion, found the one-man band enlisting the help of Spoon drummer/producer Jim Eno.
Lerner spent the next two years immersing himself in the world of vintage synths and keyboards in anticipation of the band's retro synth pop-heavy fourth studio album, Ad Infinitum, which dropped in September 2015. Lerner struck a balance between the clean electronic textures of Ad Infinitum and the more organic approach of his earlier work on the album Effluxion, released in February 2019.

Telekinesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything flows
Til you feel so lonely
You still feel so broken
It's a chemical reaction
Based upon attraction
Will I die alone?
You know I'm so concerned
Like a lost child
A little lost child
Car crash
Car crash late in the night
Oh, oh oh oh
You're not wrong
But you were never right
Oh, oh oh oh
And now I feel so lonely
Feel so very light
Last thing I know honestly
Honestly I'm half the man
You all expect so much
Give and take
Give and take
Give and I wake up so cold
Without a thing to do
I thought that this was love
And now I'm more confused
I'm more confused
I'm more confused
Car crash
Car crash late in the night
Oh, oh oh oh
You're not wrong but you were never right
C-c-c-car crash
C-c-c-car crash late in the night
Oh, oh oh oh
You're not wrong but you were never right
And now I feel so lonely
Feel so very
Feel so lonely
Feel so very light
The Telekinesis song "Car Crash" delves into the complexities of love and the fear of dying alone. The opening lines suggest that love is fluid and ever-changing, but despite the ebb and flow, the singer is left feeling lonely and broken. The lyrics also suggest that love is a chemical reaction based on attraction, highlighting the physiological aspect of falling in love. The phrase "Will I die alone?" speaks to the fear and anxiety of being alone and not ever finding that special someone. The singer is concerned and confused, feeling like a lost child, vulnerable and unsure.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of give and take in the relationship. The singer thought they had found love, but now they are more confused than ever, waking up alone and cold. The recurring refrain of "Car crash late in the night" adds a layer of ominousness and danger to the song, suggesting that the relationship was on a collision course from the start. The final lines reveal that the singer feels like they are only half of a person because of the failed relationship.
