Twice Dark: Time Traveller
Twice Dark releases “Time Traveller”, a goth rock / dark pop anthem
by Jack Rush
In the neo-gothic realms of Bloomington, Indiana, Josh Kreuzman birthed the spectral music project Twice Dark in 2020. Inspired by the melancholic grandeur of decaying industrial spaces, Twice Dark weaves together goth, industrial, EBM, italodisco, deathrock, coldwave, and darkwave, capturing a haunting elegance reminiscent of a forgotten era. Post-punk.com describes Twice Dark as being, “dipped in auditory shadows and echoing with the retro resonance of the 1980s music scene...like a phantom reaching out through a fog of time.”
Kreuzman’s artistic roots run deep, having earned a BFA in Sculpture and a Minor in Art History from Indiana University Bloomington in 2005. His band experience dates back to 1992, when he first dabbled in punk bands during high school. In college, he continued experimenting with alternative and punk sounds before transitioning into the indie rock scene, which eventually evolved into the dark, eclectic sound that defines Twice Dark. In 2022, Kreuzman curated and released the "Midwest Gothic" compilation, a collection featuring bands from across the Midwest. The project was praised as "awesome" and "stacked with talent" by soundandshadows.com. Kreuzman celebrated the project with a live show in Indianapolis in early 2023.
His recently released single Time Traveller is a goth rock / dark pop anthem about repeating the same mistakes throughout life and knowing that you'll be back around to this same mistake at some point, soon enough. Time Traveler has an upbeat tempo with pop punk sensibilities in a dark post-punk package. James Clark (Homunculus Algorithm) provides backup vocals that elevate the chorus to a powerful anthem. The song starts strong and fast and never slows down. Enjoy at high volumes.
His upcoming 2025 album, 'Telekinetic', promises to take listeners even deeper into his haunting, sonic landscapes, solidifying Twice Dark as a rising force in the world of darkwave and electronic music.
