the light
by KNETX
RIYL: Nine Inch Nails, Filter, Smashing Pumpkins.
“the light” is a volatile track, weaving atmospheric synths and brooding lyrics with explosive guitar-driven choruses. While sonically ominous, the song's message is uplifting and hopeful. While it would thrive on an Alternative Rock playlist, it could easily hang in a Psych Rock or even New Wave playlist.
Released on 7/22/2025, this is the fourth single on KNETX's upcoming debut album, "fever dreamer." The album is slated to be released independently in December 2025. Produced and mixed by Chris "Frenchie"Smith at the Bubble Studios (in Dripping Springs, TX). Engineered by Brendon Sanders. Mastered by Christopher Messina at Guru Mastering.
