Space March
Space March is the music project of Australian musician Craig Simmons from Sydney. He has been making melodic synth-pop and indie pop since 2002, working with Ninthwave Records and Hark Records.
His first album, Space March, was released in Australia in 2003 and in the US in 2004 as an import. In 2004, critics named it a top album, with praise from the Chicago Reader and The Village Voice. The music blends Beatles-like Britpop with psychedelic electronics.
In 2006, Ninthwave released a second album, Without This You Can Never Change, which leaned more toward electro. A remixed and repackaged version appeared in 2007.
The third album, Monumental, came out in 2011. Simmons collaborated with producer Mark Saunders, known for work with Erasure, The Cure, A-ha and others. The album has strong 1980s synth-pop vibes.
Hark Records released Mountain King in 2013, and its title track borrows a melody from Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King.
In 2014, Space March released It Must Be Obvious, an album of covers by artists like Pet Shop Boys, Muse, The Beatles and more.
The sixth album, Future Memories, arrived in 2018 and blends synth-pop, electropop and synthwave across ten tracks.
The seventh album, Algorithm, was released on 24 September 2021 and includes six unreleased tracks plus four new mixes of recent singles.
Before Space March, Simmons helped form ElectroSquad, releasing Espionage (2000) and Operation: k (2001) on Hark Records. He also co-created the bandit.fm online music store for Sony Music in Australia in 2008. Early in his design career, he did artwork for Midnight Oil’s Earth and Sun and Moon. In 2011, Space March showcased large canvas artworks for each song from Monumental at the blank_space Gallery in Sydney, mixing modern art with pop design.
