He has worked with acts including Radiohead, Travis, Beck, Air, Paul McCartney, U2, R.E.M., Pavement, Roger Waters, Arcade Fire and Idles.

Early in his career, Godrich worked as the house engineer at RAK Studios, London, under the producer John Leckie. He first worked with Radiohead while engineering their second album, The Bends (1995), at RAK. Radiohead hired him to produce OK Computer (1997), which was a major success and brought him attention from major artists. He has produced all of Radiohead's albums since, along with several other projects with the Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood. Godrich won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Non-Classical Album for the 2003 Radiohead album Hail to the Thief.

Godrich is a member of the bands Atoms for Peace (with Yorke) and Ultraísta. In 2006, he launched the music webseries From the Basement. With Beck, Godrich composed the score for the 2010 film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Early years and educationEdit

Nigel Godrich was born in Westminster, London, the son of Victor Godrich, a BBC sound supervisor, and Brenda Godrich.Template:Citation needed He was fascinated by recording at an early age.<ref name="Snapes-2020">Template:Cite news</ref> As a child, after he asked for a machine to make records, his father bought him a cassette machine; Godrich used it to make recordings of his television, train sets and running water.<ref name="Snapes-2020" />

Godrich was educated at William Ellis School in North West London, where he shared classes with his friend and the future Zero 7 member Henry Binns.Template:Citation needed Godrich began playing guitar, inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa.Template:Citation needed He first visited a recording studio at the age of 16, when his band recorded a demo at Elephant Studios, Wapping, and spent time asking the engineer questions.<ref name=":Lost In Music: Nigel Godrich3">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He studied at the School of Audio Engineering (SAE), London.<ref name="McKinnon-2006">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

CareerEdit

After graduating from SAE, Godrich became a junior staff member at the Audio One studio complex, working as a tea boy.<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> He did not enjoy his time there.<ref name="Robinson-1997">Template:Cite journal</ref> According to Godrich, "With a beeper in my pocket, I'd wait next to the kettle, ready to deliver my hot beverages. I wasn't even allowed in the studios, but I [would] hang there thinking, 'OK, it's only the first rung, but at least I'm on the ladder.'"<ref name="McKinnon-2006" />

After the closure of Audio One,<ref name="Robinson-1997" /> in 1990 joined RAK Studios, London, first as a messenger and later as a studio assistant. He would stay late at night, inviting musician friends to play there while he practised recording them.<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> At RAK, he became a tape operator for the producer John Leckie, with whom he worked on albums by Ride and Denim.<ref name="Robinson-1997" />

After four years, Godrich left RAK to go freelance and set up his own studio, Shabang, where he planned to create dance music.<ref name="Robinson-1997" /> Six months later, he was hired to engineer and mix The Sound Of... McAlmont & Butler (1995), the debut album by McAlmont & Butler. Godrich said it was a "brilliant experience" and credited Bernard Butler with teaching him how to produce records.<ref name="Robinson-1997" /> Godrich produced the self-titled debut album by Silver Sun, released in May 1997.<ref name="Robinson-1997" />

RadioheadEdit

Godrich first worked with the rock band Radiohead when John Leckie hired him at RAK to engineer their EP My Iron Lung (1994) and their second album, The Bends (1995).<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> The band nicknamed him "Nihilist", approving of his efforts to take their sound in new directions.<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> When Leckie left the studio to attend a social engagement, Radiohead and Godrich stayed to record B-sides. One song, "Black Star", was instead included on The Bends.<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> In 1995, Godrich produced Radiohead's charity single "Lucky", plus the B-sides "Bishop's Robes" and "Talk Show Host", released on the 1996 single "Street Spirit (Fade Out)".<ref name="McKinnon-2006" />Template:Quote box

Radiohead invited Godrich to co-produce their third album, OK Computer (1997).<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> It won Best Alternative Album at the 40th Grammy Awards<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and sold more than 4.5 million copies worldwide.<ref name="Rules">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Working in improvised studios without supervision, Godrich and the band learned as they went, and credited the success to the open process. In 2013, Godrich told the Guardian: "OK Computer was such a big thing for me because I was given power for the first time. Some of these incredibly intelligent and insightful people said 'do what you want' to me so I worked my arse off for them and together we did something that represents where we all were at the time. And it stuck for some reason. People got it, so that changed my life."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Godrich has produced every Radiohead studio album since. He won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Non-Classical Album for their sixth album, Hail to the Thief (2003).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> For their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007), Radiohead initially hired a new producer, Spike Stent. According to the guitarist Ed O'Brien, Radiohead wanted to get out of the "comfort zone" by working with a new producer,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and the bassist, Colin Greenwood, said Godrich was busy working with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Radiohead re-enlisted Godrich after their sessions with Stent proved fruitless.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Godrich's father died during the recording of Radiohead's ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool (2016). Godrich wrote: "Making this album was a very intense experience for me. I lost my dad in the process. Hence a large piece of my soul lives here in a good way."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Godrich provided sound design for Kid A Mnesia Exhibition (2021), an interactive experience created for the anniversary of Kid A and Amnesiac.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2006, CBC described Godrich's collaboration with Radiohead as "the most adventurous band-producer partnership in modern rock".<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> He has been dubbed the band's "sixth member", an allusion to Beatles producer George Martin being called the "fifth Beatle".<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> Godrich also plays Chieftain Mews, a long-running character who appears in Radiohead's promotional material.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Side projectsEdit

Godrich has produced most of the solo work by the Radiohead singer, Thom Yorke, including his albums The Eraser (2006), Tomorrow's Modern Boxes (2014)<ref>Tomorrow's Modern Boxes vinyl packaging</ref> and Anima (2019).<ref name="Crack">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Yorke credits Godrich with helping edit his work, identifying which parts need improvement and which have potential. He gave the example of the Eraser song "Black Swan", which originally was "a six-minute load of crap, except for this one juicy bit, and [Godrich] goes past and goes, 'That bit. Fuck the rest.' Usually it's something like that."<ref name="YorkeGodrichRS">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Godrich said that working with Yorke alone was more straightforward than with Radiohead, as he did not have to manage the relationship between Yorke and the other band members. On The Eraser, he and Yorke were able to "pull in the same direction".<ref name=":Lost In Music: Nigel Godrich2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2009, to perform songs from The Eraser, Godrich and Yorke formed Atoms for Peace, with Godrich on guitar, keyboards and synthesisers. The band also includes the bassist Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the drummer Joey Waronker of Beck and R.E.M., and the percussionist Mauro Refosco of Forro in the Dark.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Their debut album, Amok, produced by Godrich, was released in 2013,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> followed by a tour of Europe, the US and Japan.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Godrich engineered Junun, a 2015 album by the Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, the Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur and the Indian ensemble the Rajasthan Express, recorded at Mehrangarh Fort in Rajasthan, India.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Godrich produced A Light for Attracting Attention (2022), the debut album by the Smile, a band comprising Yorke, Greenwood and the drummer Tom Skinner.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Guardian critic Alexis Petridis said the Smile "sound like a simultaneously more skeletal and knottier version of Radiohead", exploring more progressive rock influences with unusual time signatures, complex riffs and "hard-driving" motorik psychedelia.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Godrich mixed Jarak Qaribak, a 2023 album by Greenwood and the Israeli rock musician Dudu Tasaa.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Other projectsEdit

Following his success with OK Computer, Godrich mixed most of Natalie Imbruglia's hit album Left of the Middle (1997)<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> and R.E.M.'s Up (1998).<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> Godrich produced three albums by the American singer-songwriter Beck: Mutations (1998), Sea Change (2002) and The Information (2006). The first two, particularly Sea Change, were noted for their atmospheric folk/pop sound, a departure from the spontaneous, sample-heavy style Beck was known for.Template:Cn

Godrich produced several albums by Travis, including their commercial breakthrough, The Man Who (1999), and its followup, The Invisible Band (2001).<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /> According to the Travis songwriter, Fran Healy, Godrich was frustrated after the gruelling sessions for Radiohead's albums Kid A and Amnesiac, and so "took it out on us because he couldn't take it out on Radiohead".<ref name="McLean-2021">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The mood settled after an argument.<ref name="McLean-2021" /> Healy felt it was good for Godrich to work with "melodic" bands such as Travis as well as more experimental acts such as Radiohead.<ref name="McLean-2021" /> Godrich co-produced the Travis albums The Boy With No Name (2007) with Mike Hedges.Template:Cn

Godrich produced Pavement's final album, Terror Twilight (1999), with Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood contributing harmonica on two tracks.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Godrich, a fan of the band, hoped to help them find a bigger audience with a less "sloppy" record.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Songwriter Stephen Malkmus later described the album as "overproduced" and described conflicts with Godrich.<ref name="Pearce-2017">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In response, Godrich tweeted: "I literally slept on a friend's floor in NYC to be able to make that album."<ref name="Pearce-2017" /> In 2020, Godrich said that he loved the album and had enjoyed making it.<ref name="Pearce-2017" />

In 2001, Godrich remixed U2's "Walk On" for its single release, and mixed and contributed production to Air's albums Talkie Walkie (2004) and Pocket Symphony (2007).Template:Citation needed In 2002, Godrich was hired to produce the second album by the Strokes, Room on Fire (2003). He was fired when their work, according to the band, proved "soulless".<ref name="CBC">Template:Cite news</ref> Godrich said of the failed collaboration: "The problem there was that me and [singer Julian Casablancas] are just too similar, we're both control freaks. He wanted to do it his way, I wanted to do it my way, and obviously that's the point of me being there. And I'm saying 'Well, why am I here if you're not prepared to try and do it the way I want to do it?' We got on great, it was just one of those laughable things where it just doesn't work. I wanted them to change, and they didn't."<ref name="DrownedInSound">Template:Cite news</ref>

Godrich produced the 20th-anniversary version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?", released in December 2004, which featured artists including Paul McCartney, Yorke and Greenwood. Godrich said in 2009: "I'm glad I did it – it raised quite a bit of money. It came on when I was sitting in a lobby somewhere once, and it took me a while to recognise it. It sounded good though, better than I remembered."<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> McCartney hired Godrich to produce his album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005) after he was recommended by the Beatles producer, George Martin. Godrich fired McCartney's touring band and demanded that he abandon songs Godrich found clichéd, over-sentimental, or subpar.<ref name="McKinnon-2006" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album was nominated for several Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, and Godrich was nominated for Producer of the Year.<ref name="McKinnon-2006" />

In 2010, Godrich and Beck composed the score for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Godrich's first film work.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In October 2012, Godrich, along with Joey Waronker and singer Laura Bettinson, released an album as Ultraísta.

From the Basement (2006–2009)Edit

Template:Main article In September 2006, it was announced that Godrich, along with producer Dilly Gent, producer James Chads and John Woollcombe, were shooting the music series From the Basement, filmed from London's Maida Vale Studios.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The series focused on intimate, live performances by musicians without a host or an audience. Godrich said, "I'm really interested to capture some really iconic, bigger names– really the whole point is to get people who are having their moment, to try and get a definitive record of what they're doing."<ref name="Nigel Godrich on ‘From The Basement’">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Godrich conceived From the Basement as a means of authentically documenting music being made. Drawing further inspiration from British television music series The Old Grey Whistle Test, Godrich came upon the idea of a television programme. Despite early reports, From the Basement did not initially appear on British television, because of not taking on corporate sponsors.<ref name="Nigel Godrich on ‘From The Basement’" />

When the pilot was in production, From the Basement was to be an online programme only. However, this was not feasible as it did not generate enough money to produce the episodes to the quality level desired. Instead, the producers went to international TV networks to receive money up front to produce the series.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The series did eventually air on television; the first UK broadcast was on Sky Arts on 1 December 2007, featuring four songs performed by Thom Yorke on 8 December 2007.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Dead linkTemplate:Cbignore</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The United States premiere was on Rave HD on 22 February 2008, followed by a run on Independent Film Channel, as part of the network's "Automat" block of television programmes in the autumn of 2008.<ref name="Nigel Godrich's From the Basement Coming to Cable">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On 3 November 2008, the series was released on DVD.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A new series of From the Basement began on YouTube in May 2022, featuring acts including Idles, Warpaint and Caribou.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Approach and influencesEdit

Godrich credited the producers Phil Thornalley, John Leckie and Steve Lillywhite for teaching him his craft, saying they were "people I watched directly and emulated".<ref name="Snapes-2020" /> He named his "heroes" as the Beatles producer George Martin, for "inventing the job", and Trevor Horn, for being "the thing that really made me sit up and listen".<ref name="DrownedInSound" /> He said Joni Mitchell was his favourite artist, citing her "unique combination of musical and lyrical talent".<ref name="Snapes-2020" />

Godrich said that although he enjoys listening to "clinical" and "shiny" music, he works best creating "organic" sounds: "Making a dark brown soup was more my skill, [rather] than making a big fairy cake."<ref name="DrownedInSound" /> He does not approach acts he produces; instead, he waits for them to contact him, as he does not assume he could improve the work of acts he already admires.<ref name="Snapes-2020" />

Godrich said he believes people place too much emphasis on studio equipment and "trickery", which is less important than musical sensibility and communication. He said: "I get very annoyed with people asking me what my favourite microphone is. It doesn't matter ... One of the reasons why music has become generally worse, and I'm sorry to say that, is that people think about technology more than the actual music they're making."<ref name="Snapes-2020" /> He feels that "the recording process is best when fast, because it's then the smallest obstacle to the actual music".<ref name="Snapes-2020" />
