Scizzorman Drops New Album 'How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left'

Concept albums are tricky things. They require vision, discipline, and a willingness to commit to an idea even when it threatens to spiral out of control. Scizzorman have all three in abundance. Their new album, "How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left," is a seven-track journey through funk, glam, psychedelia, stoner rock, and beyond. It is a record that tells a story, though not in any conventional sense. It is a story of observations, anecdotes, and existential detours. It is a story of trying to find meaning in an increasingly dystopian world.

The Australian outfit formed in late 2024, emerging from a post-pandemic hiatus and a lingering case of writer's block. That period of silence and uncertainty hangs over the album like a shadow, but it is not a shadow of despair. It is a shadow that makes the colours brighter, the sounds sharper, the ideas more urgent. The songs on "How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left" are strange and colourful, yes, but they are also deeply felt. They are the work of a band that has something to say and is determined to say it.

At the centre of the album 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. The band's musical trajectory constantly shifts before somehow bringing everything together in half an hour. It is a narrative arc that keeps the listener guessing until the very end.

"How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left" is an album that understands the value of brevity. Clocking in at just over thirty minutes, it makes its point and moves on. 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. It is short, very sweet, and designed to dislodge the present tense. From one track to the next, the band invites listeners to embrace the unpredictable, question the obvious, and perhaps discover a few new values along the way. It is a journey worth taking.
