You Are Electric
Perhaps best described as sentimental robot pop, this Kraftwerk inspired tune with its blips and beeps and “Speak & Spell” samples, opened up a new direction in the Space March repertoire.
The EP features You Are Electric remixes, The Ocean b-side, and a cover of New Order’s Age of Consent.
You Are Electric first appeared on the Mountain King album, earlier in the year.
The EP and album were mastered by Robin Schmidt (OMD, Two Door Cinema Club).
Video
For this video, I wanted to create a Kraftwerk style performance, and parody my gesticulations from the Space Cowboy clip. So I set the camera up on the tripod in front of a green screen and recorded five ad lib takes. From this, I cut together the performance and created the motion graphics in After Effects.

Amanda Palmer Tweet
I was chuffed to receive this complimentary tweet from none other than indie rockstar Amanda Palmer! One half of The Dresden Dolls and a successful solo artist, AFP is arguably the highest profile, most outspoken DIY artist on the planet!
