SCHIZO FUN ADDICT

Heading into year 23 - the life of Schizo Fun Addict and we now present an album containing a spiritual mystery layered into the 3D music and art. The title is a famous quote from an international man of mystery. The artwork contains clues as to who that love must be directed towards in the ultimate expression of the statement. The jacket is a film still made 3D (a clue). The 3D glasses inside the jacket are hand stamped by the lovely Jayne Gabriel, co-founder of SFA with yours truly Jet Wintzer. The inserts are cut up from two vintage UK music tabloids, signed in gold leaf paint. Each is a jigsaw piece.

The LP comes off the heels of a ltd/ed of 58 - 10” lathe cut with hand painted sleeves (by me) for the first single off this lp - “Fate Chaser” which garnered rave reviews in Shindig!, Record Collector and Goldmine. It’s pure 60’s psych pop uplifting but a tale of two people who never fell in love but who felt in love. The 2d single is an ultra rare double A-side promo 7”; “Forever Before” an absolute classic 80’s indie bopper with hints of early Smiths, The Stone Roses and Prefab Sprout; and a hybrid of folk and shoegazed shimmering cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Over The Hills And Far Away”, which hardcore Zep fans have been flipping out over. Make sure to see both videos on YouTube as they were shot in real Super 8 and on the moon.

Schizo Fun Addict has been blessed with the legendary iconic soaring guitars of Rex John Shelverton (Tamaryn/Vue/Bellavista/Portraits of Past) since 2018’s El Shoegaze Bossa Nova, where his exciting production techniques merged shoegaze and Bossa nova inventing a whole new genre in the process.

Ilona Virostek (aka Ilona V) has been singing and playing guitar/bass with SFA since 2008. Her initial Nico vibes have now expanded, combining with Jayne to invoke girl group Shangei-Las vibes with Brasil 66 on a beach dancing the samba with B52’s and Wendy Smith from Pre Fab Sprout surfing in on a Beach Boys wave and you get the picture.

Daniel Boivin handles percussion and drums since El Shoegaze Bossa Nova, but here he makes his debut vocal with SFA on Side 2 for “Hidden Melody”, a modern indie masterpiece.

Dannie Figueredo (Fig) handles keys, piano and arrangements, classically trained but a passionate student of pop & composers like Jimmy Webb, Brian Wilson and Bob Dylan.

The Lounge Bar Orchestra makes a guest appearance on the gorgeous instrumental “Reprise” - composed and recorded by Greg Healey (formerly known as the legendary TV score composer, Reg Omeroyd).
