Alongside the release of his new EP 5…4…3…2…1…, CLOUT favourite Zachary Mason has released his brand new single of the same name, the introductory track that sets the scene for an audacious narrative that sees humans looking to flee a doomed earth and instead attempting to colonise mars.

‘5…4…3…2…1…’ the song oversees the initial process of the humans taking off and leaving, soaked in Zachary Mason’s distinctive appeal as a songwriter and performer and packed full of personality and the engrossing guitar-driven sound that he so often employs. There is a lot of humour and quirkiness to the sound, but while the rise of people like Elon Musk is such a big part of modern life, there is something inherently harrowing about the concept that doesn’t seem a million miles away from being a possibility, adding another level of intrigue to an EP that is packed full of fun ideas and creativity throughout.
