If New Manners frontman Nick Camacho sounds burdened by uncertainty and dejection on the band’s latest set of tunes, he savvily masks it within his band's jangly, indie-pop confections. Diffuser is pleased to premiere “So Nice” – the lead-off track from the Pomona, Calif.-based outfit's upcoming Give Me Your Bones EP  – which is an irresistible testament to such juxtaposition. Take a listen below:

Camacho admits told us the song was born out of a time of self-doubt. “'So Nice' was written as I looked back at everything I had been through in my early twenties,” he said. “[I was] mostly worried about not experiencing what I wanted at the time – like love, playing shows on my own and being self-confident. It’s nice to be able to write about it and know that I’m exactly where I wanted to be.”

Camacho certainly appears to have found his footing since expanding New Manners from a solo project to a quintet comprised of Anthony Lujan, Judcody Limon, Loren James and Dave Trautz. The five-piece will put out their second EP, Give Me Your Bones, on Nov. 6 via the Native Sound. It follows the band's 2013 self-titled EP.
