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 alongside many other accolades.
