A resonating melding of synths and guitars enamor across “Telekinetic,” a new track from Twice Dark, the Bloomington, Indiana-based project of Josh Kreuzman. Drawing from a variety of inspirations — from goth-rock and darkwave to post-punk and ’80s industrial music — “Telekinetic” proves memorable in its melodic sound and relatable thematic pursuits.
A dazzling mixture of warming guitar distortion and twinkling keys drive into a solemn vocal presence, striving to “fit here on my own,” in its introspective lyrical depictions. The artist describes the release as “about talking control of ones fears and manifesting ones dreams through force of will,” — and lyrics like “I’m standing in my way,” provide an honest perspective on how fears/apprehension can stymy one’s personal progress.
The title-touting beckoning melds beautifully with the textured guitars and effervescent synths, invoking an ’80s nostalgia within heartfelt thematic captivation. “In the darkness of the night, dreams are written down,” a particularly enveloping sequence begins, culminating in beautifully interplay twangy guitars and lush keys. “Telekinetic” is a stirring success from Twice Dark.
