Creation (The Pierces album)

Creation is the fourth studio album by American band The Pierces. It was released on August 29, 2014, in Europe and on September 2, 2014, in North America, through Columbia Records. The album was produced by Julian Emery.

The album marked a stylistic shift for the band, moving away from their previous folk and country influences towards a more synth-pop and electronic sound. This change in direction proved divisive among fans and critics.

Singles released from Creation include "Kings," "Believe You Me," and "Come Alive." The album charted in several countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. While it achieved moderate commercial success, it didn't reach the same level of popularity as their previous album, You & I.

The lyrical themes explored on Creation cover topics such as love, loss, and the complexities of relationships. The album title itself refers to the band's desire to reinvent themselves and explore new sonic territories. Reception of Creation was mixed, with some praising the band's willingness to experiment, while others criticized the perceived lack of authenticity and the departure from their earlier sound.
