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 is a Canadian duo that became the face of the 2010s synthwave revival following their contribution to the 'Drive' soundtrack. Comprised of Bronwyn Griffin and Austin Garrick, the pair leverages a massive collection of vintage synthesizers to achieve a sound that is 80% analog.
Their career arc moved from underground Valerie Collective associates to international recognition, eventually evolving into sophisticated film scoring with projects like 'Breathing' and 'Come True.' Culturally, they occupy a space between indie-pop and the 'Outrun' aesthetic, though they lean more toward the melodic, 'dreamwave' end of the spectrum than their more aggressive peers. Critical consensus highlights their ability to balance retro-fetishism with timeless songwriting. They are heavily influenced by 1980s film composers like John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream, as well as the pop sensibilities of artists like Fleetwood Mac. Their work is essential for collectors of the 'Valerie' sound and those interested in the intersection of modern electronic production and vintage cinematic atmosphere.
