By the time Twice Dark’s “Telekinetic” arrived in full, we were already steeped in its world of spectral melodies and existential musings. Tracks like “Necromantic,” “Time Traveller,” “Invisible Man,” and “Telekinetic” had already graced our blog, setting the stage for a release that promised something beyond the ordinary—a step into a dimension where gothic rock, synthpop, and darkwave intertwine, pulsating with eerie allure and an almost supernatural pull. And now, with the entire album laid bare, Telekinetic is revealed as a breathtaking odyssey through longing, transformation, and the ghostly echoes of the past. This fourth album, released on March 7, is Twice Dark’s most immersive offering yet, a spectral dance through themes of isolation, transformation, and the uncanny bonds that tether us to the unknown. It plays like a séance of the self, where the echoes of neon-lit nights and unseen forces whisper truths we’re not always ready to face.
“Night Shift” opens the album with a lush, midnight drive of shimmering synths and pulsing basslines. “Night shifts and the neon flashes and the rain begins to fall,” Kreuzman croons, his voice slipping through the track like headlights cutting through mist. The production here is intoxicating, layering haunting guitar lines with a steady, hypnotic rhythm that captures the fleeting magic of after-dark escapism.
Then comes “Invisible Man,” a spectral waltz through loneliness and dissolution. The brooding bass and eerie synth flourishes envelop the track in a fog of melancholia, mirroring the existential ache of lyrics like “Write your name into the sand, it’s washed away in time.” Kreuzman’s delivery is both distant and deeply intimate, embodying the weightless drift of a soul fading into the void.
With “Necromantic,” the album plunges into an ethereal love affair with the beyond. Here, longing is spectral, tethered to a soundscape of brooding synths and slow, hypnotic percussion. “Now you pull me closer, now you pull me under with you,” he sings, his voice echoing like a whisper from the other side. The reverb-drenched production heightens the song’s spectral beauty, making it feel like a slow dance with the dearly departed.
Moving on, “Phoenix,” is an inferno of desire and destruction. This track sears with alt-rock intensity, igniting with distorted guitars and thunderous drums before unraveling into Kreuzman’s hypnotic, yet impassioned vocals. “Sorry but I’m cold and shaking now, save me with desire,” he pleads, embodying the raw desperation of a soul burning for rebirth. The production crackles with urgency, each element feeding into the track’s inextinguishable blaze.
The fifth track, “Time Traveller” spirals into existential doom, unraveling fate’s cruel cycles with a relentless, driving beat. “Like a snake eating its own tail, like a life determined to fail,” Kreuzman chants, his voice dripping with prophetic weight. Swirling synths and pulsating basslines mimic the sensation of time folding in on itself, creating a disorienting yet mesmerizing experience.
The psychological descent continues with “Mind Trap,” where telepathic obsession turns suffocating. A chilling blend of darkwave and gothrock, this track pulses with eerie synths, reverb-drenched guitars, and a creeping sense of dread. Kreuzman’s vocals shift from haunting whispers to urgent cries, capturing the torment of being trapped in an unseen force. “Your eyes are deadlier than any knife,” he sings, the words slicing through the song’s thick atmosphere like a desperate plea for escape.
At the album’s core lies “Telekinetic,” the namesake track and an electrifying anthem of self-liberation. The brooding verses simmer with tension before bursting into a chorus that demands movement: “Telekinetic, move it with your mind.” Kreuzman’s vocals teeter between desperation and defiance, while the production layers eerie synth textures with a driving rhythm that pulses with cinematic intensity. The track builds into a cathartic release, embodying the fight for control in a world that often renders us powerless.
Through the “Telekinetic” album, Twice Dark has crafted more than just an album—it’s a portal. A hypnotic, neon-lit dreamscape where gothic romance, spectral memories, and pulsing desire converge into something deeply haunting yet irresistibly alive. Play it loud. Dance through the night. Let it possess you.
