The fourth album from Twice Darkish, Telekinetic touts a gripping mix of synth-pop, goth-rock, post-punk, and past. The Bloomington, Indiana-based mission of Josh Kreuzman reveals a knack for hooky immediacy and haunting soundscapes alike, showcased throughout these seven pleasant tracks.
Opening the album with a twinkling intrigue, “Evening Shifts” builds upon glimmering keys into moody guitar twangs and a gradual percussive pulse. A late-night ’80s nostalgia emanates. “Solar setting within the west, darkish mist is taking grip,” the vocals set free, furthering the already-enveloping soundscape. Creeping shadows and neon lights are ample. The following “Invisible Man” balances darkish synth tones with a extra playful MGMT-esque contact; the “write your identify into the sand,” hook dazzles with its ascending attraction, as properly — exhibiting the mission as able to hooks each within the lighter and darker atmospheric realms.
One other spotlight, “Time Traveler” infuses a post-punk bass maneuvering and New Order-esque guitars with shimmering synth injections — leading to one other replay-inducing success. In the meantime, the title serves as a satiating finale — lined extra in-depth right here final October, when it first caught our ears. Telekinetic is a stylishly memorable success from Twice Darkish.
