Chance by Scott Seskind

The home-recorded album everything pointed to - now on vinyl and CD for the first time.

After several delays, we finally received the long-awaited production date from the pressing plant - and are happy to share this long-overdue announcement.

Following the 2022 reissue of Scott Seskind’s 1985 debut, there was never a question - we wanted to go further.

Ebalunga!!! exists to restore forgotten gems, and Scott’s music has been warming our hearts for years. So, to our own joy - and in response to all your emails, questions (and demands!) we’re thrilled to announce that his second album Chance (1991) will be released for the first time on vinyl and CD in September 2025.

Thank you for keeping us on our toes: you helped make this real.

A rare cassette that should have become a classic:

Originally released only as a self-distributed cassette, Chance never got the attention it deserved but over the decades, it became a cult favorite among collectors and lo-fi folk devotees. Recorded in the early ’90s, the album feels like a quiet diary stitched together from fragments of late evenings, memory, hope, and doubt.

A home recording - just the way we love it:

“I recorded the songs on the same cassette recorder as my first album… I mistakenly put it out on cassette only. It wasn’t more than 1,000 copies. I only have one left.”
- Scott Seskind (Psychedelic Baby!, 2023)

Chance was recorded on the same 4-track Portastudio cassette machine Scott used for his debut. These are songs born between duties and silence, family life. There are no frills here: just voice, guitar, subtle strokes of cello, female backing vocals, mandolin, and percussion. Total intimacy. Total warmth.

Songs of hope, grief, and memory:

The lyrics explore friendship, loss, longing, and love with no pretension and no mask. Chance feels like a personal conversation, not a performance. And among its tracklist is perhaps Scott’s most widely known song: “I Remember”, which in recent years has reached a new generation of listeners after being featured on the acclaimed compilation "Skygirl"(Efficient Space) a release that introduced countless people to its fragile beauty.

Bonus track and closing chapter:

This edition also includes, for the first time, the bonus track “Last Song” a home recording made “many years ago” in the Colorado foothills.
A bright and serene farewell, it brings the album to a gentle, natural close like the final page of an abandoned diary.
