"All the Rowboats" had been knocking around Regina Spektor's live sets since 2005 before it finally got a studio home as the first single from What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, her sixth album, on Sire in 2012. On stage she used to fake a drum machine with her microphone; on record Jay Bellerose and Aaron Sterling share the drums, Sterling adds percussion, and Mike Elizondo plays bass and electric guitar as well as producing, with Spektor on piano, keyboards and vocals and a co-producer credit. Adam Hawkins engineered and mixed it.
Adria Petty and Peter Sluszka directed the video, a stop-motion fever dream of rowboats, a lighthouse, underwater shots and closing walls, and its production designer, Anthony Henderson, picked up an MTV Video Music Awards nomination for art direction.
