Twice Dark - Telekinetic
Welcome to the technicolored brilliance that Twice Dark brings to the table with his latest number, Telekinetic. The singer-songwriter and genius producer that he is has urged him to experiment with goth and add a romantic touch with retro to his work. He brings alive rhythms with a colourful rendition of sounds that provide a robust listening experience. He says so himself that he is inspired by the melancholic grandeur of decaying industrial spaces. The drums kickstart the song, patiently catching and holding our attention, a spine that runs the length of the song. By the time we hear the keyboard enter the stage, the vocals have taken over the floor. Giving us an elaborate contemporary performance in terms of sounds. There is a chiming sound that twinkles from the keyboard, adding a romantic touch to the song. We hear a tasteful combination of gothic, classical, and retro (the disco era specifically). He weaves techno sounds that add flashes of colour to the song. This tapestry of music is unique to Josh Kreuzman; he adds sharp sounds paired (in terms of his instrumentals) with his soft, more rounded vocals. He seems to be attracted to bringing together opposites—an experimentation of extremes. A song like this would fit in without even a whisper of doubt in The Rocky Horror Picture. Much like the film, the song is brimming with spunk and personality. If you are into all this and more, click on the links attached above and let Twice Dark take you on a ride.

Twice Dark - Invisible Man
From the shadowy corners of Bloomington, Indiana, Josh Kreuzman’s Twice Dark spins haunting tales that blend the melancholic beauty of gothic subcultures with the pulsing allure of synth and techno. Since its inception in 2020, Twice Dark has flourished into a vessel for Kreuzman’s fascination with industrial decay and retrofuturistic sounds. He creates music that feels like a techno séance. Invisible Man emerges as a spectral anthem that’s equal parts eerie and electrifying. This was following the acclaim of his Midwest Gothic compilation and his evolution from punk rock to darkwave. The track opens with a hypnotic soundscape that immediately pulls you into its orbit. An atmospheric synthscape, a forest of pulsing synth lines, sets the stage. This evokes the sensation of walking through dimly lit alleyways, shadows flickering against old brick walls. Kreuzman’s vocals glide in, dripping with a detached coolness that teeters between haunting and hypnotic. There’s a raw theatricality in his delivery, as if he’s narrating the lament of a phantom yearning to be seen. What makes Invisible Man especially riveting is the ability to merge genres effortlessly. Neo-gothic undertones dominate the mood, while synth-pop hooks and techno-inspired rhythms keep the energy alive. The chorus, laced with a bittersweet melody, is undeniably catchy, but it never loses the song’s inherent edge. Kreuzman’s knack for layering textures—coldwave basslines, crisp electronic beats, and hauntingly melodic synths—creates an immersive soundscape that’s both retro and forward-thinking. I truly believe this song would be wonderful for an Eva and Wall-E dance sequence. Invisible Man is a pulsating darkwave triumph by the genre-defying and synth-bender himself, Twice Dark.
