I haven’t quite wrapped my head around all the releases from 2010 and already there are albums lined up for 2011 that I can’t wait to hear, like ones from Apex Manor, Aqueduct and now Michael Benjamin Lerner’s Telekinesis.

On Feb. 15, Merge Records will release 12 Desperate Straight Lines, the follow-up to the debut Telekinesis!, a 2009 favorite.

The album was produced by Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla, and Spin has the premiere of Car Crash, a charming blast of pop whose chant-driven chorus is quickly nestling into my subconscious. I don’t doubt I’ll be singing this when I wake up in the morning.

In addition to the song, a batch of Telekinesis tour dates also has been released, and they include a Feb. 26 stop at the Sail Inn in Tempe.
