Lisa Crawley

Recent Silver Scroll nominee Lisa Crawley’s debut full-length album ‘Everything That I Have Seen’ (featuring current radio single ‘Blind Eyes’) will finally be available on October 17th, through Rythmethod and iTunes worldwide and after selling out her two self-released EPs, it has certainly earned its reputation as ‘eagerly anticipated’.

From curious stints in Japanese hotels, English pubs, Danish jazz clubs, and most recently a series of performances and music video shoot in New York, Lisa has travelled the world getting by on a song, quite literally. It’s little wonder that she has been handpicked to tour in New Zealand with artists as varied as John Mayer, Jools Holland, Nathan Haines, Julia Deans and Paul Weller, scoring rave reviews wherever she pops up.

The album was recorded and mixed over the past year at The Lab Studios in Auckland by ‘Engineer of The Year’ Oliver Harmer. Lisa has self-produced the majority of the album, with assistance from the talented Jol Mulholland, Wayne Bell, and Andrew Keoghan (who features on the haunting duet ‘We Are Wolves’).

With playful, clever, and heartfelt lyrics, the combination of a truly beautiful voice to match her unique musical talents (expect piano, guitar, clarinet, omnichord and more), the album is complemented by an array of friends and musicians from bands such as The Ruby Suns, Bannerman, The Checks, Artisan Guns and Tiny Ruins, to name a few.

Lisa is one of New Zealand’s songwriters to watch, already having won the international ‘Pacific Song writing Competition’ and has recently been nominated for a Silver Scroll award for the catchy single “Leaving”.

The album tackles ordinarily tender topics such as enduring change, saying all sorts of goodbye, and moving on in life, all from the perspective of a young woman and shimmering rising star who would love to share… Everything That I Have Seen.
