"**No Nice Things**" (stylized in all caps) is the debut EP (extended play) of singer-songwriter Snuffles. It was released on May 1, 2021.

## Background

The EP was released after months of teasing from Snuffles. During this time, Snuffles released the single "What The". Snuffles pruned his Twitter account, leading up to the EP's release and started posting cryptic teasers. Eventually, the EP was released and Snuffles celebrated with a face reveal.

### Teasers

The first teaser was posted on April 21, 2021. Later on April 22, Snuffles posted the second teaser. Lastly, on April 23, Snuffles posted the last teaser for the cover art. This lead fans to piece the puzzle together. Snuffles also updated his banner on his Spotify the same day, which another fan noticed.

### Announcement

On April 24, Snuffles officially announced the title for the EP, tracklist, release date, and the feature from Saturn. The announcement included a snippet of the song "Borders990" playing over a distorted video of the cover art.

During the next few days, Snuffles continued to post teasers for his then upcoming EP. The first two tweets had countdowns on them while the last teaser read "TOMORROW", and played a snippet of "Hoopsnake" featuring the vocals of Saturn playing over it. In a now-deleted tweet from the day of the release, Snuffles posted a picture of himself holding a tablet with the cover art for the EP on it and with the message "no nice things out everywhere <3 thanks for everything". This was his first face reveal.

## Composition & Theme

Snuffles stated the following about the composition of the cover art and the theme of the extended play in the release stream for the latter:

> "*My album cover... was... my old bedroom. Oh, I'll just show you guys the picture. [...] So, right here is the album cover. So, this, this used to be my, how my bedroom looked before I started streaming. Uh, that is just a raw picture, like, that's no, I have no filters or anything, that's just a picture. And that, that was, that was how my setup looked before I started streaming. Um, and I feel like I kinda just came up with things. I feel like* No Nice Things *is supposed to be like a culmination of old feelings and old stuff I would go through, but it's not really that. Like, I didn't make the lyrics that were supposed to be around that. That's just kind of... and I guess for the album cover, what I did was I made that and then I basically got some weird line stuff? I don't know what the fuck I did and it looked like this. Uh, and I got this from it, and then, and then Cycless said "You should put a picture". You guys see the difference, though, right? It's moved a bit, but like... and, uh, basically Cycless said "You should put a picture", so Wesley, uh, uh, a few nights ago Wesley sent me some pictures he took at, like, years ago. He sent me some pictures he took. Uh, and he sent me... is this the pic? He sent me this picture. Yo, Wesley took this with a fucking iPhone 6. He took this picture with an iPhone 6, dude. Um, and what I did was "You know what? Lemme put that, like that". And I was like "You know what? This is good, I love it. It's contrast, it's got... I like it, I like it a lot". And that's when I started to make the teaser. It goes from one, to two, to three, and then the video. You guys know, you guys have seen it. So... It was a group effort, it was a little bit from...*"
