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.[4] 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.[5]
Matt Langston stated his reasons for his naming the EP, Embellish, when he said:
I’ve decided to call the EP Embellish, mostly because I kind of like the sound of that word and also because I feel like that's what most pop music is…a tiny idea that somehow gets dressed up and passed around a 1920’s jazz club and made a big deal of when it's really not. - Matt Langston

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
On February 19, The Jellyrox announced via his Facebook that a music video was in the works for the track, "Your Oasis."[6] Through various forms of social media in July, Matt Langston indicated that the music video is in pre-production and filming.[7][8]
The EP was nominated for "Best EP of the Year" in the 2013 We Love Christian Music awards.[9][10]
