Background
Seven Lions said about the album: "Really glad to finally get this EP out there. Some of these songs I have been working on for years. A few of these you will recognize from my recent live sets. As well as having some high energy songs for this EP I really wanted to experiment with some non-dance floor related tracks and really get back to my metal and acoustic roots."{{Cite web |url=https://edmidentity.com/2016/03/26/seven-lions-releases-creation-ep/ |title=Seven Lions Releases "Creation" EP |date=March 26, 2016 |website=EDM Identity |language=en-US |access-date=July 31, 2018}}
