The first Echoboy album is now available to download from the Rough Trade Digital site www.roughtradedigital.com
Echoboy's latest album, ELEKTRIK SOUL PSYMPHONIE, is still available to buy at www.echoboy.com
When, in 1998, Richard's band The Hybirds split, he released the ferocious 'Flashlegs' twelve inch under the name Echoboy.
Echoboy then signed to Mute and delivered the genre defying album "Volume 1" exactly one year after signing the deal.
A mere six months later, and having been briefly pursued by Noel Gallagher to join Oasis, the prolific musician re-emerged from his studio with an equally diverse collection "Volume 2".
Just as his music was evolving, so the Echoboy live band reflected this, starting as a three piece outfit and developing into a two-drummer, seven man extravaganza, successfully headlining tours of the UK and Europe as well as supporting bands as diverse as Doves and Add N To (X). On one UK tour with a band that included current members of Spiritualized, Warren decided to throw away the traditional set list and improvise a new set every night. He also decided to record every performance and "46-54-00" became the first limited edition live Echoboy album.
"Giraffe", the next album, was produced by the legendary Flood (Depeche Mode, U2, Smashing Pumpkins) and released in 2003.
And in 2005, having now parted company with MUTE, EARWORM RECORDS released ELEKTRIK SOUL PSYMPHONIE (ESP), a collection of more leftfield electronic-based instrumental tracks.
He has provided remixes for a diverse range of artists including Doves, Luke Slater and Starsailor and produced the 'I want to be the President' EP for Electrelane as well as the first album by up and coming Nottingham band Punish the Atom (due out April 2006)
In 2004/5 (whilst continuing to work on his own new material) he toured with Spiritualized (on bass) and both played on and co-engineered their forthcoming album.
