Nik Freitas, the singer-songwriter and sideman extraordinaire (he’s played with Conor Oberst and Broken Bells and on records by Miles Kurosky of Beulah, Jason Boesel and All Smiles, among others), added a healthy dose of keyboard shimmer to the warm folk-pop on his fifth full-length, “Saturday Night Underwater.” The album came out in June on Pierre de Reeder’s Little Record Co. imprint, and the video for the title track finds Freitas engaging in a couple of his other passions, skating and visual arts. Have to admit, “Saturday Night Underwater’s” melody line is as breezy as rolling downhill.
