"[...] Ghost of Chance release a single aimed straight at the heart of college radio from 20 years ago. "I Feel Fine" represents a bit of scratchy and jangly pop from the four-piece until the disparate parts break away, [...] It feels inexorable, this progress toward a refrain. The drums seem to grant themselves greater agency, running away under [J. Adirondack's] tweaking and insistent vocal. [...] Ghost of Chance manage to eliminate any useful descriptions of time." - 32ft Per Second

"It' s a fast, jangling tune, with a bright guitar part reverberating in what feels like a cavernous, dark space that washes over [J. Adirondack’s] vocals, which take on an insistent, almost urgent cast as he repeats the refrain. The song has a classic feel that calls to mind alt-rock in the late ’80s and early ’90s: edgy, a little twitchy and definitely compelling." - Hartford Courant
"At four tracks, Paddle Boat leaves me wanting more" - To Eleven Blog
"...this 7? offers us a refreshing sound, using this unique combination of calm and crunchy garage rock to create a dense and noisy sound." - The Styrofoam Drone

Bio
Ghost of Chance are an post-garage rock band based in New Haven, Connecticut. The group's distinctive style is characterized by subtle time signature changes and sonically open experimentation set to surrealist lyrics. Ghost of Chance's sound takes its influence from 1960s psychedelica and garage rock while maintaining the shimmer of classic pop sensibilities. All of this adds to the unique yet familiar sound that Ghost of Chance have cleverly cultivated. Engaging the audience with a anxious energy and the desire to communicate, Ghost of Chance share a sense of imperativeness with great pop predecessors like the 13th Floor Elevators and John Cale -- sincerity combined with pop knowledge.
