David Wrench is an albino pop singer and studio sound engineer from Bangor, Wales. His music has ranged from camp synth pop to Doom inspired Folk.
He first came to public attention while still at school in 1989 with his first group Nid Madagascar, who recorded "the first Welsh language acid house record" Lledrith Lliw as a 12" single in 1990.
Reappearing some years later as a solo artist he was signed first to Ankst Records of Cardiff and later to Manchester-based Storm Music. Wrench has made two albums, Blow Winds Blow and The Atomic World of Tomorrow, as well as a number of singles and EPs. He was also a member of the 33 piece "cosmic supergroup" The Serpents, with whom he also released a single and an album.
His first full-length solo album, Blow Winds Blow includes Wrench acting as a multi-instrumentalist.
The Atomic World of Tomorrow and its supporting singles are best described as camp synth pop, with a resemblance to artists such as the Pet Shop Boys and Scissor Sisters.
When not working on his own music, Wrench is a studio sound engineer.[citation needed]
Wrench recently appeared (3 May 2009) in session on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone alongside Julian Cope and his flock of Black Sheep
