"Merging the sounds of Neil Young, Jeff Buckley and early Matt Mays, Dean Selena has a fresh approach to writing, and the potential to be at the forefront of what's happening on the Canadian scene. The roots meets progressive-indy rock approach is further complimented by Leigh Doerksen’s diverse vocal range and the group's driving rhythm section. It is a great live experience and worth a listen, absolutely."
--Shannon Sternloff

"Dean Selena's debut disc reminds me of a mix between Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" and "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere", though of course their sound is not a carbon copy of Mr. Young's. "Where'd You Run to Now?" almost hints at Zeppelin or Pink Floyd where they've got a great odd time riff going on that works well. The melody of "Feel You" is my favorite, and "There's No Stoppin' the Wind" is an undeniably breezy happy song that contrasts well with the moodiness of the rest of the album. Not surprising that a band from Lethbridge would know how to write about windy times! I also like the dreamy last track, the lines "Made to find a place in the universe/ Far away from where we are now / Somewhere that hasn't been touched by the curse"-- in general the lyrical theme seems to be that of longing for something better."
--Ann Vriend 
Singer/Songwriter
