Embellish (EP)


Embellish is the second official extended play release by the American electropop music artist, The Jellyrox.

Background

The EP's production was heavily covered via The Jellyrox's Tumblr blog.
On January 10, 2013, Matt Langston revealed he had begun to work on a new EP and hoped to have it out sometime in the spring. Through his blog, Langston began a series of ten posts updating fans on the progress of the new release. After a few weeks, a pre-order of the Embellish EP was announced and set on The Jellyrox's official store. Fans who pre-ordered the record got it as early as a month in advance. Embellish debuted on iTunes April 23, 2013.
Matt Langston stated his reasons for his naming the EP, Embellish, when he said:

Reception

The EP received overall favorable reviews from different music sites and even garnered a rare 5-star rating from New Release Tuesday: "If you've been looking for an electronic album that is as exceptional as it is unpretentious, this is a project for you. Between the shimmering synth builds and the whimsically young yet honest lyrics, this is a collection that truly shines. Blending just the right amount of reflection and tongue-in-cheek cleverness in the lyrics, Matt Langston has created an EP that is solid from beginning to end both musically and lyrically." ~ Elraen of NRT

2014-present

On February 19, The Jellyrox announced via his Facebook that a music video was in the works for the track, "Your Oasis." Through various forms of social media in July, Matt Langston indicated that the music video is in pre-production and filming.

Awards

The EP was nominated for "Best EP of the Year" in the 2013 We Love Christian Music awards.
