Secrets In The Sand is a journey across time and space in Australia that will transport you to this country no matter where in the world you are listening. Tales of the journey and arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 join stories that have been here in the sand for thousands of years. Forgotten Beach, Narrabeen, Water Caves, Mooloolaba and Western Waves reflect that unique freedom that can only be felt at the water’s edge, embracing the modern beach culture of coastal towns where Robbie’s band GANGgajang first found its sound and audience. Eora features Robbie’s distinctive guitar playing while tracks about the displaced people of the First Fleet such as Painted Room, Escaping Dreams Pray Far From The Boat and As Rivers Lose Themselves To The Sea highlight the depth of passion in his emotive voice, harmonies and unique approach to song writing and arrangement. Nomadsland and Barefoot In The Sand beat in time with the heart of Australia, talking about the possibilities of an enriched life when you give yourself over to the landscape. Simple pop songs such as Forward and Can’t Stand Still complete the album’s mix of colours unique to Robbie James.
"James exhibits that incredible sense of place that has so powerfully imbued the work of songwriters like Shane Howard and Neil Murray, on songs like Mooloolaba, Nomadsland and Barefoot In The Sand, but adds a sophistication both as a singer and instrumentalist, making him perhaps that little bit more accessible to city/suburban dwellers. It’s there in the languid Forward and truly angelic a cappella of Water Caves and Eora, that avoids the clichés of both “indigenous” overtones (no didgeridoos) and “surf guitar” frenzy. Intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, James makes music that is at once sumptuous and elegantly evocative, a soundtrack for a movie no one has yet thought to make about this remarkable place in which we live." (Drum Media, Michael Smith)
“Beautiful, thoughtful Aussie folk/pop from a Ganggajang-er”. You wouldn’t believe this record was released in January 2006. Not from its nostalgic folk melodies sung with honest passion and classic arrangements complete with three-part harmony and strings. Opening with the catchy, laidback Forgotten Beach (Byron Bay), James then paints our exotic landscape and its history in Nomadsland, then mellows out with the piano-driven Painted Room. This is a truly Australian journal through time and space with deep respect for our vast and varied land, much-neglected Aboriginal heritage and modern beach culture. The haunting slide guitar, strings and yidaki (didge) on Barefoot In The Sand lead nicely into As Rivers Lose Themselves To The Sea, standing out with its classy Sting-meets-Neil-Finn ambience, James’ passionate vocal supported simply by a classical guitar and strings. Other moments remind you of GANGgajang’s Sounds Of Then, in a good way, and the disc concludes with two soulful guitar-lead gems, Eora and Western Waves." (Rave Magazine, Peter B)
