"If you like Spoon, you might dig this new band The Selfish Gene." - VH1's Best Week Ever, 2007
"[The Grand Masquerade] is immersed in ambition--a stunning blend of giddy, effusive melodies with a cerebral mindset ... Despite [The Selfish Gene's] precocious tendencies--sound effects, maddening shifts in tempo, synths, heady musings--their tunes remain anchored in relentless energy and easy accessibility. " - Performing Songwriter, 2007
"Songs that are both delicately introspective and explosively grand." - National Public Radio, 2007
"A memorable album that has more smarts, soul and just plain fun than most of what's considered "pop" these days." - Wisconsin State Journal / Capital Times, 2007
