About Electric Youth
Hailing from the vibrant cityscape of Toronto, Ontario, Electric Youth stands as a beacon of modern synth-pop ingenuity. This Canadian duo, comprising the talents of Bronwyn Griffin and Austin Garrick, intertwines Griffin’s ethereal vocals and Garrick’s masterful production to forge soundscapes that are as nostalgic as they are futuristic. Their personal and professional synergy, rooted in a relationship that blossomed from the tender age of grade 8, infuses their music with a unique authenticity and emotional depth. Electric Youth burst onto the international scene with their track « A Real Hero, » in collaboration with College, which became an anthem for the acclaimed movie « Drive. » This track, a lyrical homage to heroism inspired by the remarkable story of Chesley Sullenberger and Flight 1549, not only captured the hearts of listeners worldwide but also earned them a nomination for a 2012 MTV Movie Award. Their sound, a meticulous blend of past and future, rejects the mere recreation of bygone eras in favor of crafting a soundtrack for tomorrow, a vision that has resonated with fans and critics alike. Their debut album « Innerworld, » released in 2014, marked a significant milestone, debuting at #13 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. The album, a tapestry of their signature sound, saw contributions from icons like Vince Clarke and Peter Mayes, and was lauded by prestigious outlets such as NME and NPR. Following « Innerworld, » Electric Youth continued to evolve, embarking on their first headlining tour and releasing their sophomore album « Memory Emotion » in 2019, which further solidified their status in the electronic music scene with a Juno Award nomination. Electric Youth is not just a musical act but a journey through sound and emotion, a testament to the enduring power of synth-pop to connect, inspire, and innovate. Their discography, including notable albums like « Innerworld » and « Memory Emotion, » and soundtracks such as « Breathing » and « Come True, » continues to enrich the tapestry of electronic music, making them indispensable figures in the genre’s landscape. |
