Chris Cester steps forward with Mystic Knights and delivers a sharp, self-aware punch on Count. Built from a late-night guitar riff and a stripped-back rhythm, the track toys with the ritual of counting into a song—only to subvert it with a sly grin. It’s a tongue-in-cheek jab at hit-making formulas, wrapped in driving garage-rock urgency.
Lean, hooky, and defiantly instinct-led, Count trusts feel over polish. Cester proves he’s more than a powerhouse drummer—this is raw, riff-forward rock with bite, swagger, and just enough mischief to keep it dangerous.
