In 2014 McQueen was replaced on drums by Gabriel Webster.[1] They performed at Australian festivals and supported gigs by Franz Ferdinand.[1] The band issued their five-track, first extended play, Gradient, in July 2014.[1] It was recorded in the previous December with Simon Berckelman producing.[3] Beat Magazine's Simon Welby felt, "[its] sunny and relatively slick production quality is a marked sonic advance from the tracks that initially brought them attention... Stylistically, the EP steps beyond the jangly garage pop of 'I Won't Wait' to align itself with acts of the shoegaze and dream pop ilk (Yo La Tengo, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride)."[3]

The Creases released their debut album, Tremolow, in July 2017, which reached the ARIA Top 100 Physical Albums and No. 21 on the ARIA Hitseekers Albums charts.[4][5] Jack Gobbe of Outlet Mag observed, "With charming song writing and catchy hooks that are often emphasised by stirring backing vocals, you'll soon find a significant chunk of the record ringing in your head for days to come."[6]
