[on repeat] Electric Youth//The Best Thing

Leave a comment

Electric Youth’s new single came out earlier this week and if you’re a fan of synthpop, you’re gonna love “The Best Thing”.  The Toronto duo are probably best known for the best track on the Drive soundtrack (“a Real Hero”, along with College).  I am a huge fan of that track, but i’m really happy to see them put out new stuff and build on their previous success.  For this particular track, the duo worked with Vince Clark (Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yaz) and according to their facebook page, they plan on utilizing his expertise further on their forthcoming debut.  Catch Electric Youth on tour now and stay tuned for more.

“Once again, we find ourselves back in another barn to write our next record : )”

Very little details at this point (other than the photo and note above), but Phantogram announced yesterday that they are working on their next record!  I for one can’t wait for the new album and will be following this closely.  Stay tuned.
