Perth Alternative Funk Rock outfit SCIZZORMAN return with their vibrant new single, “Mystical Yeast”, the latest taste off their forthcoming concept album, How To Get Your Life Right With What’s Left.
Hailing from one of the world’s most geographically isolated cities, SCIZZORMAN have spent two decades carving out a distinctive sound that blends Funk, Neo-psychedelia, Glam Pop, Progressive Rock, Soul and Experimental grooves. Led by Songwriter/Drummer Terry J Vinci, the band continues to release music independently, embracing artistic freedom and pushing creative boundaries.
Clocking in at just under 5 minutes, “Mystical Yeast” rides a signature funk groove while taking aim at modern fashionable dilemmas and first-world gossip culture. The song drifts between grounded observation and psychedelic escapism, transporting listeners into an imaginative mythical landscape where everyday concerns dissolve into a colourful sonic adventure.
“Mystical Yeast” first began taking shape in late 2024 after Terry overcame an extended period of writer’s block through a series of creative trips to Melbourne. A change of scenery reignited the song writing process, allowing both the lyrics and musical direction to gradually emerge.
Recording commenced following bassist Cody Robson’s return to Perth in early 2025, with Page Six Studios ready to track the rhythm section within a fortnight, given the studios upcoming demolition and relocation. Drawing from their mutual love and fascination with Flea and Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, it soon became apparent this particular tracks was a culmination of Cody and Terrys Bass and Drum sound that began way back in 2000.
With Engineer Adrian Vinci behind the controls, only a handful of takes were needed to capture their own original funk groove that would become the backbone to “Mystical Yeast”. Terry later added Lead Vocals, while Guitarist Stewart Herbertson contributed Lead Guitar, Synthesizers, Vocal Harmonies and an eastern-inspired middle section, before delivering a soaring guitar solo that became one of the track’s defining moments.
Produced by SCIZZORMAN and engineered by Adrian Vinci, “Mystical Yeast” captures the chemistry of longtime collaborators, creating without compromise or expectation.
SCIZZORMAN’s journey began in 2005 with a passion for crafting original recorded works. Their self-titled debut album introduced a unique blend of rock, funk and soul, with opening track “Bubble” earning Finalist recognition at the National Music Oz Awards. The follow-up album, Awake to Dream, expanded their sound through Folk, Punk and Jazz influences, while 2015’s Buried Pleasures showcased collaborations and remixes that later received successful US College Radio airplay. In 2018, the single “Beautiful Child” achieved high rotation across radio stations, both in Canada and the United States.
Following a post-pandemic hiatus and renewed creative momentum, SCIZZORMAN now return with How To Get Your Life Right With What’s Left, a concise concept album that reflects the band’s evolving artistic vision. Bold, adventurous and unmistakably their own, the project invites listeners into a world of audio sensory escapism that leaves them wanting more.
