A collection of all the one-sided 7" vinyls that Richard Warren
independently released under the pseudonym Modlang during 2005-2006.
Richard Daniel Warren (born 3 June 1973) is a British musician, songwriter
and producer.
He signed his first record deal with Heavenly Records at the height of
Britpop in 1996, as one third of The Hybirds.
In 1999 when the band split, he branched out on his own and away from
guitar-led pop, signing to Mute Records as Echoboy after Daniel Miller
heard his self-released 12 " Flashlegs (Suite). He went on to release
several self-produced solo albums on Mute as well as Giraffe, which was
produced by Flood, and having put together a band he toured extensively
with, amongst others, Elastica, Add N to (X) and Broadcast .
He was famously asked by Noel Gallagher to join Oasis, which led The Sun
to claim "He's not mad for it ù he's just mad".
Both Echoboy and The Hybirds performed several sessions for John Peel's
radio show.
He is also known for producing and remixing other artists (including
Tenebrous Liar, Doves, Electrelane and Starsailor).
In 2003 he was asked by Jason Pierce to play bass guitar in Spiritualized,
with whom he toured throughout 2003-05. He also played bass on and
co-engineered the band's 2008 album Songs in A&E.
In 2005/06 he released a set of five limited edition 7" singles under the
pseudonym Modlang.
During 2005-09 he played guitar with both Starsailor and Soulsavers with
Mark Lanegan, playing guitar on the 2009 Starsailor album All the Plans
and on the Soulsavers albums It's Not How Far You Fall, It's the Way You
Land and Broken. He also co-wrote two of the songs on Broken.
In 2008 he formed The Cold Light of Day, releasing the limited edition EP
Flesh and Blood in April 2009.
In October 2009 he left The Cold Light of Day to pursue other projects and
released a solo album Laments in July 2010, which made it into the NME's
'50 best albums of the year so far' list.
He is currently working on his next album, which will be released later in
2011.
