Nigel Godrich

Nigel Godrich is one of those names I notice in the liner notes more than on a stage. Born in London in 1971, he came up as a house engineer at RAK Studios under John Leckie, and that apprenticeship clearly stuck. What pulls me in is the company he keeps as a producer: Radiohead, Beck, Air, Paul McCartney, R.E.M., Arcade Fire, Idles. That is a span of decades and genres held together by one set of ears. I think of him as the rare producer whose presence you can almost hear in the texture of a record.
