Concert Review: Electric Youth Are Love Dream In Brooklyn

With so much colorful lighting and mist on the stage/ air, the night felt like a literal haze. Electric Youth’s MHOW show was 100% built on an 80’s romanticism. Playing some old and new songs from their recently released record, Memory Emotion, the night could have been a love scene from Top Gun. 

Love is a heightened feeling, at first, until it settles and becomes a foundational one. That is why they call the beginning of a relationship, “the honeymoon phase,” and th3 latter half, “Jesus Christ! You two are still together!” Admit it! You hear someone say, “We are having our 20 year anniversary,” and you wonder how or why. With life feeling so fleeting, especially for rising generations of youths, the longevity/eternity of love seems impossible. Yet, to Electric Youth, it comes with “Memory Emotion;” turning their album/ songs into a psycho-analysis on how romance is a long-haul game.

“The Best Thing,” “Through The Same Eyes,” “Real Ones,” and “Higher” shows that romance is not a moment but an overarching theme in your love story. It is the  beauty of knowing someone loved you through your ugliest moments so that you could become even more beautiful to them and yourself. What a magical blessing! This vibe is encompassed in Bronwyn Griffin’s voice: effortless, heavenly, and oddly calm in emotion. In perspective, love rushes in to make you still, and from “Breathless” to “Innocence” the audience saw that.

Besides a few strolls through the stage, Bronwyn stayed still, clutching her chest, and letting her harmonic vocals paint love into people’s mind. It was a refreshing show because even I can look for the “spectacle” in spectacular. It is not easy to just “be” and  also be entertaining, but their is a “present” feeling to Electric Youth’s presence that makes singing a song enough for a show.
