Freitas' Team Love debut, equal parts wry, warm, and sonorous, is the end product of several years of life's ups and downs. He writes, plays, engineers, and produces every note on his records. Sun Down takes you from Paul Simon's Graceland to David Bowie's Hunky Dory in a span of forty effortless minutes. It's imbued with a sort of indie grandeur that is both unexpected and totally natural.

Taking time out of his world travels as a professional photgrapher for Thrasher Magazine, Nik Freitas' debut release 'Heres Laughing At You' showcases his range as a songwriter, musician, arranger and singer in a refreshingly original way.

Rarely does a record (let alone a debut) come across so fully realized and focused.
