They may also know that I very <em>very<\/em> rarely review singles.<\/p>\n<p>Well, here I am breaking both rules. I enthusiastically <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2025\/01\/05\/single-review-schizo-fun-addict-elevation-versus-sabotage-b-w-coming-to-you\/\">reviewed a single<\/a> by Schizo Fun Addict back in January 2025, and so when I received their latest, I gave it a listen and I dig it, so here\u2019s a brief review\u2026<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, I read the title\u2019s first word as \u201cPalestine.\u201d And I thought, \u201c<em>Hmmm<\/em>.\u201d Looking again, I sorted it out. But what matters is the sound. Imagine Brian Jones Massacre with a chirpy female vocalist and you\u2019ll be on the right track. Jangling, shimmering guitars over a gauzy, reverbed arrangement with disorienting splashes of spoken word and whooshing, dive-bombing synthesizer flourishes (or maybe guitars; I can\u2019t be sure). It\u2019s a catchy tune with production to match.<\/p>\n<p>The flip, \u201cFate Reprise\u201d is an instrumental bearing hints of both Summer of Love and \u201880s Paisley Underground character. The intentionally blurry aesthetic is a choice I might not have made, but the melodic guitar lines and plinking piano figures punch through the gauze. Ultimately, it sounds like the B-side it is, but it\u2019s a catchy one that may well lodge itself in the listener\u2019s brain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regular readers of Musoscribe may know that I posted seven days a week for a few years before going back to my original five-a-week, business-days-only posting regimen.
