Australian trio Scizzorman fuse funk-rock and psychedelic chaos on How To Get Your Life Right With What’s Left, a seven-track, 30-minute trip through modern dysfunction.
The record marks the band’s return following a post-pandemic hiatus and an extended period of creative stagnation. Rather than smoothing out the resulting tension, Scizzorman make it part of the album’s architecture.
Songs change direction without warning, genres overlap and surreal lyrics examine identity, narcissism, generational breakdown and the pressure to find meaning in a culture that increasingly feels disconnected from reality.
Terry J Vinci, Cody Robson and Stewart Herbertson blend theatrical vocals, tight rhythms and textured guitars and synths, with Adrian Vinci mixing the album’s genre-spanning sound.
Zappa, Talking Heads, Bowie, RHCP, The Beatles, Hendrix, Arctic Monkeys, and The Dandy Warhols all surface; but the album never settles into imitation. Its strongest quality is its refusal to stay in one lane.
How To Get Your Life Right With What’s Left turns modern uncertainty into a bold, unpredictable collision of genres..
