about

Orton is the alias of Nottingham UK producer Will Crumpton, having spent years working with bands from RCA Records, Primary Talent and Sony Music, his focus has now shifted to lofi driven production, often resulting in complex arrangements of instrumentation, ethereal soundscapes and driving melodies. Taking inspiration from the iconic shoegaze sound of the 80’s and 90’s, his work evolves from that, leading into new and exciting listening experiences.

Orton’s entrance into the scene will start with the release of his debut single ‘Your Way’ from his upcoming debut EP ‘Sparring’. ‘Your Way’ will land on digital platforms on the 17th September presenting mind
bending guitars that push and pull around each other and Will’s delicate heart wrenching lyrics, explaining his struggles of finding his own way against the advice of others ‘Holding true you want to hold up your
last name’.

Recorded in numerous studios around Nottingham such as Kinema Audio, Will took a prime role in the recording process and engineering, hiring session musicians Ferg Moran on drums and Elloitt McCoid on bass while he went to work shaping the sonic outcome of their performances. The tracks were taken to Alex Wharton (My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, Portishead) at Abbey Road Studios to master and prepare
for release.

Between the release of his upcoming single ‘Your Way’ Orton is preparing for a string of shows over the Autumn to promote his debut EP ‘Sparring’ coming out on Phlexx Records on the 29th October. Orton will be playing sets at Dot to Dot Festival and an EP release show at The Chapel on the night of the digital platform release of ‘Sparring’.

Orton’s debut EP ‘Sparring’ reveals the fragile state Will found himself in during the start of this year and the process of self realisation, dealing with topics like social anxiety in the hard hitting upcoming single ‘Amongst Us’ a rollercoaster of walls of sound and the loss of family in the EP finisher that is ‘Strangers’ with layers of guitars, synth and samples that create an ethereal journey.
