Assembled on the fly (“real-time performative production” according to artist Jon Davis), Ghostband’s Verdical is a construction of fetishized "glitch(es) and groove(s)" – individual compositions that transfigure through repetition, syncopation and red herring noises. It's uncertain whether Davis has tapped into a contemporary mania or synthesized a manic – and, at times, maniacal – electronic sound response to the times. Either way, the album waxes feverish and never wanes, building and razing its pockets of pop catharsis in whims that appear both well-studied and fresh-eared. [Moon Glyph, 2011]

GhostBand is Jon Davis. Live, he produces wild, nebulous landscapes of sound capable of shifting forms dramatically and in the blink of an eye. Improvising with samples and loops, Davis crouches over his orchestrations, twiddling at the teetering point of dissolution, fracture, and eruption. [Christopher Matthew Jensen, City Pages 2007]
