<em>From the exultant indie rock joyride of "Breathing In" to the  bursting pop immediacy of "Lovers Crime", "Lakes and Ponds" grabs you by the  hand, squeezes your palm, then throws you into its spacious and twisting  trajectory. The EP manages that perfect balance between viscera and brains where  pop hooks and songcraft walk hand in hand with a big layered  sound. </em>- Press Release  Excerpt.
