Twice Dark‘s Telekinetic captures the soul’s desire for transcendence, weaving the human experience of isolation and empowerment into a rich, sonically immersive journey. The subtle riser that opens the track mirrors the quiet stirrings of awakening, leading into a lush, dimensional new wave and synth-pop landscape that feels like a portal to both past and future. There’s a palpable 80s adjacency in the track’s DNA, yet the sonic architecture is distinctly modern, allowing the listener to straddle time itself – past nostalgia, present emotion, and future possibility.
“Born into this life alone, trying to fit in here on my own…” Kreuzman’s introspective lyrics speak to the existential struggle of modern life – alienation, belonging, and the quest for meaning. They resonate on a deep emotional level, invoking the timeless tension between the individual and the collective. The vocal timbre is sublimely ethereal, yet grounded, as if channeling both the vulnerability of a whispered thought and the power of an unspoken resolve.
The song’s emotional depth is most striking in its middle eight, where it shifts from being merely dance-friendly to becoming a hypnotic, almost meditative experience. Here, Kreuzman skillfully invites us inward, guiding us to confront their innermost fears. The instrumental solo that follows isn’t just a break from the lyrics but a moment of transcendence – a sonic ascent into something divine and timeless. As the music builds towards the anthemic reprise, the track becomes an anthem of self-determination, a declaration that fears can be overcome through sheer will – through telekinesis of the soul.
Telekinetic is a hymn to manifestation, a song that speaks to the power within each of us to shape our reality through force of will. It’s a track that doesn’t just resonate with fans of The Smiths or classic Goth Rock – it echoes within anyone who has ever felt the weight of the world and, through that weight, discovered the strength to rise. The danceable yet introspective soundscape, paired with Twice Dark’s deftly layered production, elevates the track beyond mere genre boundaries into something expansive, timeless, and deeply human.
Twice Dark’s inspirations from the goth, darkwave, and industrial music of the 1980s merge effortlessly with Kreuzman’s artistic roots in sculpture and magic realism. Much like the forgotten grandeur of decaying industrial spaces, Telekinetic reminds us that beauty can emerge from darkness – that in moments of decay, there is the potential for rebirth. The track is not just a song; it’s an invitation to explore the deeper, darker dimensions of self – and to dance while doing it. We have added the opus to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography fo Twice Dark, and anticipate the upcoming album of the same name!
