David Odlum is an Irish music producer, engineer, guitarist, and drummer[1] who has worked and played with Academy Award winners and Mercury Prize nominees. Originally a member of Kíla, a band which was founded during his schooldays at Coláiste Eoin, he left them and joined rock group The Frames, fronted by the Academy Award-winner Glen Hansard, and with whom he played guitar from 1990 until 2002. Since leaving the band, he has pursued a career as a music producer.[2] Odlum has established a long running association with singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes, producing her Mercury Prize-nominated debut album Night on My Side, as well as later albums The Hollow of Morning, Let It Break and an as-yet untitled fifth album due in 2014. Odlum also played briefly with her (along with his brother, Karl Odlum).[3]
Other musicians for whom Odlum has produced albums include The Frames, with whom he worked on the album Burn the Maps after he had left the band, dEUS, Nina Hynes, Josh Ritter, Eoin Coughlan,[4] Ham Sandwich (Carry the Meek[5]), Luka Bloom (Eleven Songs[6]) and Miriam Ingram (Trampoline[7]). In late January 2012 Odlum travelled to Australia to record Australian indie band Blackchords.[8]
