    Telekinesis isn't often cited as one of America's best and smartest pop acts, but Effluxion demonstrates Learner lives up to that billing, and this LP is a real treat for power pop obsessives and anyone who likes some melodies with their rock & roll.

    The "effluxion" between records has taught Lerner to evolve while sticking to what he knows best, and though some of his approaches don't work, they also push him to find the subtleties within his richer compositions.

    A power-pop potpourri that falls between the Beatlesque formalism of Cotton Mather and the eruptive emotionality of Car Seat Headrest. [Mar 2019, p.34]

    Telekinesis seems content with not changing, but the surprising conclusion, "Out for Blood," presents hope for the future.

    Effluxion doesn’t ask questions, or make you want to ask questions, or answer any that you might have had. The only question you can ask of Effluxion is what the title means.

    Effluxion was exactly what you expected an album from Telekinesis to be. The familiarities are comforting because they are so effective. TheEffluxion was exactly what you expected an album from Telekinesis to be. The familiarities are comforting because they are so effective. The slight nuances from the band keeps you coming back for more. If you were waiting for Telekinesis to make an album you liked, you have me your match with Effluxion. Expand
