[1] Warren has performed with the groups The Hybirds and The Cold Light of Day and as a solo artist as Echoboy, Modlang and under his own name.
[2] In 1999 when the band split, he branched out on his own and away from guitar-led pop, signing to Mute Records as Echoboy[1] after Daniel Miller heard his releases on Earworm Records following his self-released 12" Flashlegs (Suite).
Warren 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.
Both Echoboy and The Hybirds performed several sessions for John Peel's radio show.
In 2003, he was asked by Jason Pierce to play bass guitar in Spiritualized, with whom he toured throughout 2003–05.
During 2005 to 2006, Warren released a set of five limited edition 7" singles under the pseudonym Modlang.
During 2005 to 2009, 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.
In 2008, Warren formed The Cold Light of Day, releasing the limited edition EP Flesh and Blood in April 2009.
