Zachary Mason puts a humorous twist on modern life in his latest single, “I Wish Humans Were Made In A Factory.” Beneath the playful title lies a witty critique of relationships, family pressures, and the chaos that often accompanies human connection.
Interestingly, the song began as a simple voice memo recorded in 2022 but grew into a full production in 2024. It now features bass by John Thomasson (Little Big Town) and mixing from Hong Kong producer Derrick Lin—a global collaboration born from a raw guitar riff and chorus.
From the first chord, the song leans heavily into gritty 90s-inspired rock. The electric guitar cuts through with a crunchy rhythm, while the bass pulses with clarity. This anchors the energy alongside tight drumming. Mason’s vocals glide through the verses with ease, delivering lines like “angry fathers, angry wives, messed up lives” with irony. His lyric, “the facts of life are a very painful fact to see,” adds a dark edge to the humor. This shows that behind the laughs is a deeper commentary on how hard life can really be.
What stands out is the song’s balance of melody and message. The chorus is catchy, and the guitar licks are sharp. There’s a sense of freedom in how the parts move together. The single toys with absurdity, suggesting that people should come “from a factory” to avoid relationship struggles. A sentiment that feels real and touches on life’s complexities.
In today’s world of music, where songs often take themselves too seriously, this one dares to have fun while still saying something honest. Zachary Mason’s quirky yet grounded approach hits the mark, offering a fresh spin on indie rock. The song is original, well-produced, and entertaining. It captures the essence of indie rock with a unique voice and playful spirit.
