Career

Godrich, a SAE graduate, joined the Audio One studio complex as a tea boy. He did not enjoy his time there; according to Godrich, "I'd wait next to the kettle, ready to pour my hot beverages right from the kettle." I wasn't allowed in the studios, but I [would] wait there, 'OK, it's only the first rung, but at least I'm on the ladder,'" says the narrator.

Godrich, a 1990 audio one, became a messenger at RAK Studios, London, then studio assistant, then stage assistant. He would remain in the studio late at night, inviting musician friends to participate in the activities while recording them. He became a tape operator for producer John Leckie, with whom he appeared on Ride and Denim albums. Godrich left RAK to become a freelancer and open Shabang, where he intended to create dance music, after four years. He was recruited to engineer and mix The Sound Of... McAlmont & Butler (1995), McAlmont & Butler's debut album. Godrich described it as a "brilliant experience" and praised Bernard Butler for showing him how to make records.

He began working with the rock band Radiohead when Leckie recruited him at RAK to engineer their EP My Iron Lung (1994) and their second album, The Bends (1995). The band referred to him as "nihilist" as a result of their attempts to move their music in new directions. Radiohead and Godrich stayed on B-sides after Leckie left the studio for a social engagement; instead, "Black Star" was on The Bends; one of his songs, "Black Star," was included on The Bends. Godrich produced "Lucky," plus B-sides "Bishop's Robes" and "Talk Show Host," which were released on the 1996 single "Street Spirit (Fade Out) in 1995.

Godrich was invited by Radiohead to co-produce their third album, OK Computer (1997), which received Best Alternative Album at the 40th Grammy Awards and has sold more than 4.5 million copies around the world. Godrich and the band learned as they went, and credited the open process with the record's success. "OK, Computer was such a big thing for me in 2013 because I was granted power for the first time," Godrich told the Guardian. Some of these incredibly intelligent and insightful individuals 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 for some reason, it stayed. "People understood it," I said, "changed my life."

Godrich has released every Radiohead studio album since, as well as winning the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Non-Classical Album for their sixth album, Hail to the Thief (2003). In Rainbows (2007), he did not work with Radiohead on the first sessions for their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007). According to guitarist Ed O'Brien, Radiohead needed to get out of "the comfort zone," and bassist Colin Greenwood said Godrich was hard at work with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck. However, Radiohead recalled Godrich after their sessions with another artist, Spike Stent, were fruitless.

"Making this album was a very emotional experience for me," Godrich's father described during the recording of Radiohead's ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool (2016). In the process, I lost my father.

The majority of Thom Yorke's solo projects, which include his albums The Eraser (2006), Tomorrow's Modern Boxes (2014), and Anima (2019). Yorke praises Godrich for assisting in the editing of his book, determining which parts need to be improved and which have potential. He led by example of the Eraser song "Black Swan," which was originally "a six-minute load of crap," except for this one juicy portion, and [Godrich] goes on and goes, "That bit." Fuck the rest of the stuff.' It's usually something like that." "We were in a room when it's with Radiohead," Godrich said. I'm trying to handle a band's [Yorke] friendship, and it's me butting heads with him and trying to advocate on behalf of the band. As soon as he and I were alone, we discovered that the environment was completely different, we were pulling in the same direction, and it was extremely profitable."

Atoms for Peace, founded in 2009, with Godrich on guitar, keyboards, and synthesizers. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, drummer Joey Waronker of Beck and R.E.M., and percussionist Mauro Refosco of Forro in the Dark are among the band's featured artists.

Godrich mixed the majority of Natalie Imbruglia's hit album Left of the Middle (1997) and R.E.M., following his success with OK Computer. 's Up (1998).

Stephen Malkmus, a writer, later described the album as "overproduced" and referred to rivalry with Godrich. "I literally slept on a friend's floor in NYC to make this album," Godrich wrote. Godrich said he loved the album and loved making it in 2020.

Godrich remixed U2's "Walk On" for its single release, as well as mixed and contributed contributions to Air's albums. Godrich was hired to produce the second album by the Strokes, Room on Fire (2003). According to the band, he was fired after their jobs were described as "soulless." "The issue was that [singer Julian Casablancas] and me were just too similar, so we're both control freaks," Godrich said of their failed collaboration. He wanted to do it his way, I wanted to do it my way, and that's the point of being there. "Well, why am I here if you're not keen to try and do it the way I want to do it?" I'm saying. We were on fine, but it was just one of those silly things that didn't work. I wanted them to change, but they didn't."

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" Godrich's 20th anniversary version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" "The film "In December 2004, which featured Yorke and Greenwood, was released in New Yorke and Greenwood." After being recommended by Beatles producer George Martin, Paul McCartney hired Godrich to produce his album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005).

It was announced that Godrich, producer Dilly Gent, producer James Chads, and John Woollcombe were filming from Maida Vale Studios in London. The collection was based on intimate, live performances by musicians without a host or an audience. "I'm really keen to get people who are having their moment, to see and get a concrete record of what they're doing," Godrich said.

From the Basement was created by Godrich as a way to authentically record music being made. Godrich came up with the concept of a television show based on the British television music series The Old Grey Whistle Test. Despite early reports, From the Basement did not initially appear on British television because of not taking on corporate sponsors.

From the Basement was to be purely an online service when the pilot was in production. However, this was not feasible because the episodes were not produced at the quality level desired. Rather, the designers decided to produce the series on international TV networks in order to get money up front. The series would eventually air on television; it was the first UK broadcast on Sky Arts on December 1, 2007, which featured four songs performed by Thom Yorke on December 8, 2007. In the fall of 2008, the United States premiere was on Rave HD followed by a run on Independent Film Channel as part of the network's "Automat" block of television shows. The film was released on DVD on November 3, 2008. In May 2022, a new series of From the Basement premiered on YouTube, starring acts including Idles, Warpaint, and Caribou.
