Twice Dark‘s Fourth Album “Telekinetic” Masterfully Bridges Goth Rock and Synthpop with Cold, Electric Precision

Twice Dark’s fourth album “Telekinetic” materializes like an apparition with substance.

Kreuzman’s most cohesive artistic message to date is this collection. It is a smart move into synthpop territory while still staying true to the gothic and darkwave roots that made him famous.

The record is like mental digging because it uses technological tools to dig up emotional areas. Even though the bass lines pulse with computerised accuracy, they have a distinctly human feel to them, like heartbeats enhanced by industrial machinery.

The sounds sparkle with a cold brightness that makes you think of both scientific and emotional things.

“Telekinetic” is different from other modern music because it does not just set a mood through atmosphere. Each song makes you want to do something, and the arrangement is always changing, balancing dancing energy with deep reflection.

Twice Dark uses “telekinesis” as a main term for the album’s ideas. He is not really talking about magical powers; instead, he is using the idea to represent how we can affect things from afar in the digital world, but we often feel emotionally disconnected.

Twice Dark seems to be looking at life from a different point of view, like a ghost who can telekinetically change the world around them but can not fully feel what is going on in it.

Twice Dark is not counting on the usual gothic tropes of monsters, love, and Victorian style. Instead, he made something more subtle that captures the uneasy feeling of memories that are not quite clear and the stress that comes from living in places that used to be industrial but are now losing money.

This whole approach to themes gives the record more intellectual and emotional meaning than just being interesting to listen to.

It looks like Twice Dark is making a point with the record about how changes in technology and the economy have affected how people connect with each other and feel emotions.

Bauhaus’s dramatic darkness, EBM’s mechanical precision, Italo disco’s surprising warmth, and cold wave’s icy separation are all interesting parts of this music.

But “Telekinetic” goes beyond its influences, making a soundscape that sounds like the music for a cyberpunk noir movie. Synthesisers play the sound of faraway train whistles, and drum machines keep track of footsteps as they walk through empty warehouses.

Twice Dark’s work makes him a historian of the mental landscapes of the rust belt. He turns the effects of economic failure into art that is full of meaning.

As a result of algorithms, streaming services are full of pop music. However, Twice Dark offers something unique: a carefully made séance that lets listeners dance with progress’s ghosts.

Not only is “Telekinetic” technically good, but it also makes you feel something. It stays with you for a long time, like the steady hum of street lamps at 3 a.m.—familiar but a little scary, comfortable but unsettling.

In music, the lines between different types of song are becoming less clear. Many modern artists use pieces from more than one style, which makes it harder and harder to put them into a single type. For Kreuzman’s work to exist, this is the background.

“Twice Dark has crafted something genuinely distinctive” makes the record stand out in a world where many artists are trying out different genres.

The best thing about the record is how it uses magical themes (like telekinesis) to help listeners understand and deal with the complicated feelings and experiences of living in post-industrial or dying industrial societies.
