True to its title, Electric Youth’s Memory Emotion is an album of unapologetically nostalgic pleasures. On their second LP, the Toronto Drive soundtrack alums take you on a dreamlike journey through the history of synth-pop, forging the neon-lined path that connects the vintage circuitry of Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder, the big-tent pomp of New Order and Pet Shop Boys, and the after-hours electro of the Italians Do It Better label. But where Bronwyn Griffin’s airy, alluring voice is the undeniable focal point of the strobe-lit salvo “The Life” and motorik indie-pop gem “Now Now”, the ecstatic Italo-house odyssey “Higher” showcases producer/partner Austin Garrick’s willingness to venture beyond the parameters of pop.
