Australian alternative funk-rock and psychedelic outfit Scizzorman resurface with a seven-track trip through funk, glam, psychedelia, stoner rock and beyond.
After a post-pandemic hiatus and a lingering case of writer’s block, Australia’s Scizzorman are back with their bold new concept album, HOW TO GET YOUR LIFE RIGHT WITH WHAT’S LEFT.
Forming in late 2024, the songs emerged as a strange and colourful collection of observations, anecdotes and existential detours, all striving to find meaning in an increasingly dystopian world. Clocking in at just over 30 minutes, the seven-track album wastes little time taking the listener somewhere unexpected.
At the centre of Scizzorman’s melting pot is drummer and vocalist Terry J Vinci, whose outrageous lyrics collide with the slick, smooth bass of Cody Robson and the vibrant guitar and synthesizer work of Stewart Herbertson. Their distinct vocal parts add another layer to a sound that refuses to sit comfortably inside any single genre.
Heavy psychedelia meets glam pop, stoner rock, swamp blues, trip ambience and retro funk, with the band’s musical trajectory constantly shifting before somehow bringing everything together in half an hour. The album’s astonishing mix was shaped by seasoned sound engineer Adrian Vinci.
With influences spanning Red Hot Chili Peppers, Frank Zappa, Arctic Monkeys, Talking Heads, David Bowie, The Beatles, The Dandy Warhols and Jimi Hendrix, Scizzorman have created something distinctly their own. HOW TO GET YOUR LIFE RIGHT WITH WHAT’S LEFT is short, very sweet, and designed to dislodge the present tense.
From one track to the next, Scizzorman invite listeners to embrace the unpredictable, question the obvious and perhaps discover a few new values along the way.
