Scizzorman Reveal Debut Album 'How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left'
The best albums are often the ones that sound like nothing else. Scizzorman's new concept album, "How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left," is one of those albums. It is a seven-track trip through funk, glam, psychedelia, stoner rock, and beyond, and it sounds like a band that has finally found its voice. The Australian outfit formed in late 2024 after a post-pandemic hiatus and a lingering case of writer's block. That period of silence has clearly paid off. The songs on this album are strange, colourful, and utterly compelling.
Much of the album's success can be attributed to the production work of seasoned sound engineer Adrian Vinci. The mix is astonishing, finding space for heavy psychedelia, glam pop, stoner rock, swamp blues, trip ambience, and retro funk without ever feeling cluttered. Each element has room to breathe. Each instrument has its moment in the spotlight. The result is a sound that feels both dense and airy, both chaotic and controlled. It is a delicate balancing act, and Vinci pulls it off with apparent ease.
The performances are equally impressive. Drummer and vocalist Terry J Vinci delivers outrageous lyrics with a conviction that is impossible to fake. Bassist Cody Robson provides a slick, smooth foundation that holds everything together. Guitarist and synthesist Stewart Herbertson adds vibrant textures that push the songs in unexpected directions. Their distinct vocal parts add another layer to a sound that refuses to sit comfortably inside any single genre. This is a band that understands the importance of chemistry, and they have it in spades.
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. It is an album that invites listeners to embrace the unpredictable, question the obvious, and perhaps discover a few new values along the way. For anyone who appreciates music that is as intelligent as it is entertaining, this is essential listening.
