After two phenomenally successful albums with Savage Garden, three pioneering solo albums and 26 million sales, Secret Codes And Battleships is singer-songwriter Darren Hayes's first proudly mainstream pop album in four years and it might just be the best of his career. Darren has signed to a major label (Mercury) and rejoined the mainstream with Secret Codes And Battleships, which was recorded in Stockholm, Los Angeles, Sydney and Darren's home studio in London. He's collaborated with Swedish writer/producer Carl Falk (Nicole Sherzinger/The Wanted); writers Steve Robson (Taylor Swift/Leona Lewis) and Phil Thornalley (Pixie Lott/Natalie Imbruglia), plus Australia-based, long-term collaborators Justin Shave (Fatboy Slim) and Robert Conley (Amy Meredith). There are reunions with both the multi Grammy Award winning maestro Walter Afanasieff, who produced Savage Garden's Affirmation album and Darren's Spin and Rex Goh, Savage Garden's long-term guitarist. The album was mixed by Robert Orton (Lady Gaga) and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
