Studio wizardry

I first came across David Wrench in his role as one half of the wonderfully weird pop duo Audiobooks, but it turns out that the man who looks like a wizard is actually more renowned as a producer/mixer with the magic touch.

Back in October, the Guardian's Daniel Dylan Wray spoke to him about a trajectory that's wound up with him working with Blur and Frank Ocean and along the way included cutting his teeth recording metal bands, immersion in the Welsh-language music scene, "a Nick Cave-esque solo album" and taking career advice from Julian Cope.
