“Time Traveller” by Twice Dark unveils an anthemic reflection of cyclical mistakes and hopping shadows
Twice Dark is a musical project founded by Josh Kreuzman, an artist based in Bloomington, Indiana. His latest single, “Time Traveller,” is a thematic reflection on the frustrating loops of life, presenting an electrifying exploration through the paradox of time, regret, and the inevitable cycles of repetition. This goth rock allure and dark pop anthemic energy refuse to tread softly, diving headfirst into the visceral realization that repeated mistakes often lead us back to the starting point despite our intentions to avoid them. Yet, it delivers this existential gut punch with such vigor that it feels like a triumph, a celebration of resilience rather than a lament.
“Time Traveller” grips listeners with relentless energy from the first beat. The upbeat tempo, laced with pop-punk vivacity, crashes headlong into a darker post-punk soundscape, creating a duality that mirrors the song’s thematic depth. Josh Kreuzman’s commanding vocals soar over driving instrumentals, each note urgently pulsating. The chorus, lifted further by James Clark’s hauntingly melodic backup vocals, becomes an intimate and stratospheric cry of despair.
What distinguishes “Time Traveller” is its capacity to convert existential burdens into a mesmerizing anthem. The compelling song doesn’t just acknowledge the cyclical nature of human errors but embraces them with an almost defiant energy. Kreuzman’s intricate instrumentation is a formidable foundation, crafting a soundscape that feels as expansive as the concept of time itself. The composition evokes imagery of shadowed industrial decay; it encapsulates the distinctive aesthetic of Twice Dark through its layers of gritty guitars, pulsating basslines, and relentless percussion coalescing into an invigorating sound.
This hypnotic composition solidifies Twice Dark’s position within the gothic music genre, symbolizing the act of confronting life’s inevitabilities without allowing them to impose limitations. It is an anthem for anyone who’s ever experienced entrapment in time’s continuous cycle of lessons and losses. Ultimately, it offers a brilliant yet timeless auditory ride that demands repetitive engagement, much like the mistakes it poetically and thoughtfully explores.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
