Electric Youth
Lush, neon-soaked synth-pop that feels like a midnight drive through a 1980s film set. Warm analog textures and breathy vocals for nocturnal dreamers.

Electric Youth creates a sonic world that feels like a memory of a place you have never actually been. Their sound is defined by a deep, reverent love for 1980s analog synthesis, but it avoids the kitsch of parody. Instead, they produce something deeply earnest and cinematic, characterized by Bronwyn Griffin's soft, ethereal vocals floating over Austin Garrick's meticulously crafted electronic landscapes.
What sets them apart is their inherent connection to cinema. Their music does not just provide a beat; it provides a narrative arc. The duo utilizes vintage hardware to create a specific kind of 'analog warmth' that feels tactile and organic, contrasting the coldness often associated with electronic music. There is a persistent sense of 'longing' in their melodies, a wistful quality that makes every track feel like the climax of a coming-of-age movie.
To understand their appeal, start with 'A Real Hero' for its iconic, steady pulse and heroic simplicity. Then, dive into the album 'Innerworld' to hear how they expand that palette into lush, full-bodied pop songs. It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who finds beauty in the quiet, neon-lit hours of the night.
Electric Youth is a Canadian synth-pop duo from Toronto, Ontario consisting of Bronwyn Griffin (vocals, songwriter) and Austin Garrick (producer, songwriter, synthesizer, drums).
