Recorded with Simon "Berkfinger" Berckelman (Philadelphia Grand Jury and Art Vs Science), "Gradient" is the sum of The Creases' early creative toil and follows the release of the band's popular stand-alone singles "I Won't Wait" and "Fun To Lose".

From the immediacy of the first single "Static Lines" to the washed out noise pop of "How Long 'Til I Know" and "Fall Guy", the chirpy "Do You Know Why" and the EP's title track "Gradient", all songs reveal a diverse yet seamless first offering, showcasing the band's impressive sonic talents.
