His music has garnered attention from influential outlets such as Rolling Stone En Español, Plectrum Magazine, 1111CR3W, Cage Riot, Analyze My Lyrics, M.E.I. News, and many more.
His new single presents an amusing narrative where humanity escapes a devastated Earth, journeying to the red sands of Mars to create a new colony, only to face confrontation from hostile Martians upon landing! With wit, the song reveals how, through an unexpected twist of fate, the Martians are ultimately appeased!
“The Funky Martians” boasts a relaxed yet infectious vibe, driven by dynamic drums and a robust bassline. The captivating rhythms are expertly crafted by Nate Barnes, a notable member of the esteemed Rock Band Rose Hill Drive, while John Thomasson, a talented musician from Little Big Town, delivers an impressive bass performance.
Mason expertly employs special effects to modulate his voice, effectively embodying all three characters of the story: the narrator, the Martians, and the colonists. With a distinctive sound that amplifies the track’s bizarre essence, Mason demonstrates his exceptional creativity and ability to deliver unique, compelling songwriting.
Confidently drawing inspiration from iconic legends like The Beatles, David Bowie, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan, Zachary Mason masterfully crafts a rich and nostalgic sound that transports listeners back to bygone decades while seamlessly integrating contemporary tools and techniques.
