Excerpt: "Just in case you missed it, one of the best EPs and hidden gems heard at Your Standard Life in a while, was the release <em>Lakes and Ponds</em> by Vermont's music collective The Hero Cycle... The band is America's version of Broken Social Scene (and are that good!). The Hero Cycle is one of those rare bands that has the ability to mesh brilliant instrumentation, artistic lyrics, and great guitar indie pop melodies. The single 'Breathing In' was one of the coolest singles of 2007 and the rest of the EP is killer... To The Hero Cycle: please release a full length...cause we love you"
