London‑based synth‑pop and dark‑disco force KN/GHTS return with a brand‑new single and video, “Light The Fuse”—a vibrant, emotionally charged track that captures the turbulent cycle of loss, recovery, and the moment you finally reclaim your sense of self. Driven by a pulsing electronic heartbeat and wrapped in shimmering synth textures, the song marks the point where looking backwards ends, and forward motion begins.
Blending classic synth‑pop influences with dark disco and Italo‑styled flair, “Light The Fuse” channels the cinematic energy that has become central to the KN/GHTS aesthetic. It is both a reinvention and a declaration: a reminder that transformation often arrives not quietly, but with a spark.
KN/GHTS is the solo project of James Knights, known as one of the voices of electronic pioneers Boytronic and for his work in Scarlet Soho. Over the years, Knights has shaped KN/GHTS into a distinctive hybrid of synth‑pop, dark disco, electronic drama, and theatrical performance—an identity that continues to evolve with each release.
Following the momentum of his second studio album Supernatural Lover, Knights’ project has been gaining international traction, particularly across Germany, Sweden, and Mexico, where audiences have embraced his neon‑lit blend of nostalgia and modern electronic pulse.
The live dimension has become equally defining. Recent performances alongside Drab Majesty and Andy Bell of Erasure highlight KN/GHTS’ ability to bridge electronic and alternative scenes, delivering shows that are as immersive as they are emotionally resonant.
With “Light The Fuse”, KN/GHTS steps confidently into a new phase—one fuelled by introspection, resilience, and the unmistakable glow of a project still expanding its horizons. Link

"With Hypocrisy, I'm very "home", but with Pain, it's an adventure, just like going into the jungle only with a knife and no glass of water and trying to survive." - Peter Tägtgren
"We were kind of exploring dark subject matters and darker sounds. I really like that, and this is the direction we are going right now." - Larissa Vale
"I'm quite obsessive, and when I work on music, I can overwork and get myself in trouble. I always had a breakdown when I finished an album, because I drove myself to the brink." - Mick Moss
"It's a dark album. According to me, it's the darkest yet in our discography. It's also very suggestive, very introverted, less direct, and might be less friendly..." - Daniel Moilanen
