Electric Youth is a Canadian synth-pop duo consisting of Bronwyn Griffin (vocals) and Austin Garrick (instrumentals), who have been intertwined both musically and romantically since their high school days. The duo gained significant attention after their collaboration with French artist College on the track "A Real Hero," which was prominently featured in the 2011 hit film "Drive" and became synonymous with the film's stylish, synth-heavy soundtrack. Their sound is characterized by a nostalgic yet contemporary blend of 80s-inspired synth-pop and electronica, infused with a dreamy, cinematic quality that has become their signature.

Since their initial splash into the public consciousness, Electric Youth has not only released an array of evocative singles but have also contributed extensively to film soundtracks, further cementing their reputation in the world of music composition for cinema. Notable works include the scores for the films "Breathing (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack From A Lost Film)" and "Come True (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)," which showcase their ability to craft atmospheric and emotionally resonant music. Their albums, such as "Memory Emotion," reflect their growth as musicians and their dedication to creating immersive audio experiences, blending ethereal vocals with lush, analog synthesizer melodies. In "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - Electric Youth Remodel," they pay homage to the iconic composition by Ryuichi Sakamoto, while in works such as "The Seeker" and "Modern Fears," they continue to explore the depths of synth-pop and its power to evoke moods and tell stories without words.
