Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the release of the EP, “Lakes and Ponds” by US based indie pop rockers, The Hero Cycle.

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. - Press Release Excerpt.

The ep is available now in the HSR Store, eMusic, Sony Connect and will be available in iTunes in February. Preview the ep here.
