What’s On

Gordon Chapman-Fox’s Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan project sees a bold visual aesthetic and striking retro-futuristic audio identity seamlessly melded together into one evocative musical package. Over five albums and one EP, Chapman-Fox impeccably soundtracks the construction and growth of a northern English community from the mid 1970’s to early 1980’s, rendered in shimmering arpeggios and soaring, euphoric leads.

Having been embraced by both the mainstream media (BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6, RTE) and niche publications alike, as well as hitting both the UK album charts and multiple end of year lists (Piccadilly Records, Bleep, Electronic Sound), it’s clear that there is no end of appreciation for the impeccably produced, immersive drift of Warrington-Runcorn’s sound.

While all of the entries in his canon have garnered significant praise, it was 2023’s The Nation’s Most Central Location that really put Warrington-Runcorn on the map with Electronic Sound naming it album of the year and Rough Trade dropping it at no. 13 in their list, as well as netting Chapman-Fox a repeat appearance at End Of The Road Festival in both 2022 and 2024.

Though the strong visual aesthetic and impeccable world building is a strong part of Warrington-Runcorn’s presentation, it would be nothing without the effortlessly evocative music that lies at the core of his essence. Bristling synth lines that puncture the air, rumbling basses and chord swells that you feel right to the spine, with rhythmic arps and snapping delays effortlessly taking the role of most of the traditional percussive elements.

Where do we go from here? With WRNTDP’s sound making graceful stretches outwards into folky minimalism, shimmering IDM and languid ambient there is no way to tell for sure, but it’s a guarantee that wherever it may go, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan’s Music is perfect for soundtracking the building of a new world, or the ending of an old one.
