Nik Freitas is hot soup, sunshine, an electric blanket. He is lemonade. This is refreshing, reassuring springtime music: the voice goes down smooth, the chords are where you want them.

Nik Freitas - All The Way Down.

Nik's new record Sun Down comes out today on Team Love, and it's really a great listen. It won't break any ground or anything, but it's not supposed to. It doesn't need anything crazy to hold it up.

Nik's bio was written by his next-door neighbor, and if you can't trust the guy who heard this record's conception through the walls, who can you trust? He says he heard traces of Todd Rungren and The Kinks, but "I also heard no evidence of frills or pretensions to greatness. No going for the gold. Just immaculately produced and performed pieces that informed you exactly how their composer was feeling at that particular time. "

That's exactly right. Sun Down is awesome, and perfect for spring. Pick it up today anywhere awesome stuff is sold (but you can start at Insound).
