There is a moment on Scizzorman’s new album when everything clicks into place. It is not a specific moment, not a particular riff or lyric, but a feeling that washes over you as you realize you are listening to something special. “How To Get Your Life Right With What’s Left” is a seven-track trip through funk, glam, psychedelia, stoner rock, and beyond. It is a record that emerged from a post-pandemic hiatus and a lingering case of writer’s block, and perhaps that is why it feels so alive. It is the sound of a band rediscovering itself.

The Australian outfit formed in late 2024, and the songs on this album emerged as a strange and colourful collection of observations, anecdotes, and existential detours. They are all striving to find meaning in an increasingly dystopian world. That striving is audible in every note. It is in the urgency of Terry J Vinci’s vocals, the warmth of Cody Robson’s bass, the adventurousness of Stewart Herbertson’s guitar and synthesizer work. This is music made by people who care deeply about what they are doing.

Clocking in at just over thirty minutes, the album wastes little time taking the listener somewhere unexpected. 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. The album’s astonishing mix was shaped by seasoned sound engineer Adrian Vinci, whose work ensures that every emotional beat lands with precision. This is an album that feels carefully constructed, yet never overly polished. It retains a rawness that is essential to its charm.

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. It is an album that will make you think, make you feel, and make you want to press play again.
