Super Fake Nice

Super Fake Nice is the third EP by American pop rock band Self, released through El Camino Media on July 29, 2014.

[2] In January 2012, Mahaffey finished his home studio in Franklin, Tennessee, entitled Fresh Imperial and co-designed by Mark Wenner.

He was drawn to "Runaway", expressing interest in it as a radio single and inspiring Mahaffey to perform and record several more songs for the project.

For it, he drew inspiration from the songwriting of alternative rock band They Might Be Giants and Peter Gabriel's song "The Barry Williams Show".

[6] Following completion, Mahaffey self-described the project as a "ratatouille of stuff I had lying around", stating a general desire to release material as Self.

The Fire Note criticized the first two tracks for their "gloss ante" while praising the EP's other songs for reviving Self's older style.
