ALBUMS & EPs
"Land en Sand"
The songs on this album were literally ALL I had in my back pocket at the time - which I could offer in a somewhat complete form - amidst other television & film commitments. It’s perhaps a more direct and personal glimpse into the immediacy of my existence, back in Overstrand, Onrus, South Africa. I’m very excited about how the tunes came out; possibly because there wasn’t really time for overthinking or embellishment. It’s more or less like this: “Here it is, this is what we managed to accomplish under pressure, hope you like it.” It really doesn’t require much more explanation.
"Allegaarkie vir n Askeet" (2023)
In Allegaarkie vir ‘n Askeet Neil Sandilands, once again, dares to be theatrical. His stories, cosmic and microcosmic, of love and politics and the absurdity of it all are irrevocable in character and distinctly South African in sound.
"Die Groot Niks" 2022
This instrumental album employs the concert ukulele & baritone ukulele as compositional instruments. The music was composed by Sandilands for the enigmatic KyKNET series “Die Groot Niks”, an epic journey into the heart of the oldest desert in the world ~ The Namib Desert.
"Sangoma Sandilands & Jou Pa se Posse" (2021)
With his debut album “Sangoma Sandilands & Jou Pa se Posse”, Sandilands received a South African Music Nomination for best contemporary Afrikaans album. The album finds its success in the way Neil Sandilands takes traditional conventions and mashes them up with more contemporary ways of thinking about music, creating a sound that is simultaneously familiar and exciting.
"Die Groot 5" (2021)
Bringing together different and, sometimes, at-odds cultural influences Die Groot 5 is about a lot of things but most of all it’s about a country finding and celebrating unity in the face of stubborn adversity.
