Living Clipboards
All Over Tawa is the debut album from Living Clipboards, a New Zealand 3-piece featuring local indie luminaries Mark Williams (Cookie Brooklyn and the Crumbs, MarineVille), Denise Roughan (The 3Ds, LBGP, Ghost Club, MarineVille) and Jim Abbott (Ghost Club).

All Over Tawa is a collection of 9 songs veering between low-slung menace (Cicadas), petulant snarl (Teenage Retreat) and languid pop (Clouds). The basic tracks for the album were recorded in the bands practice room over one weekend using a digital recorder rented from the Wellington public library. Due to the band members reading the 4-track manual incorrectly, the resulting set of songs that would become All Over Tawa move sonically between pristine to lo-fi and scorched earth; a combination the band happily embraced. Shortly after the initial recording session, Jim and Denise left town for Dunedin. Working over distance, Living Clipboards completed overdubs, layering the foundation of guitar-bass-drums with melodica, keyboards and a surprise appearance by Dunedin’s Leith Valley Brass Band. The album was subsequently mixed and mastered by Tex Houston.

Lyrically, All Over Tawa finds the band deep in the suburbs; singing about neighbours at war (Off My Chest); the corner dairy (Tawa Golden Night) and the smell of rain (Petrichor). For Teenage Retreat the band asked 9 year old Alfie Williams to rewrite a real estate advertisement from the perspective of the house. The album artwork and music videos continue the theme, with photos mostly taken at night around the streets of Tawa and South Dunedin.
