    Innerworld should be their breakthrough album at the very least, and may very well be the album of the winter, a season that fits it well.

    Shot through with warm hooks, it's a worthy retooling of old synth styles.

    Innerworld is a bit of a mixed bag, but one that's absolutely worth dipping into--every now and then you'll pull out some real gems.

    The cool, dreamy Innerworld is a sweet and shiny synth pop sparkler, lovingly crafted with refreshing sincerity and warmth.

    The remaining 11 cuts deliver on the same glossy, cinematic escapism [as "A Real Hero"] . [Sep/Oct 2014, p.74]

    Electric Youth's debut is a well-constructed, carefully thought-out debut that belies its long gestation process and will make people who fell in love with them thanks to the Drive soundtrack very happy in a melancholy kind of way.

    There's plenty to admire--not least "Without You" and "Innocence"--but you sense their moment may have passed. [Oct 2014, p.71]

    Innerworld is a progressive electronic album with a retro feel that warms the heart and soul. This beautiful couple have created a beautifullyInnerworld is a progressive electronic album with a retro feel that warms the heart and soul. This beautiful couple have created a beautifully uplifting album that blows anything else out there at the moment out of the water for me. I want to just crawl inside this album and live there forever. You may remember 'a real hero' from the movie Drive. Every single track on the album is unique and masterful. I hope this sound becomes more mainstream I really do. The Youth are amazing Expand

    9.5/10 - damn-near perfect album. The tunes, the voices, the atmosphere, the lyrics, the composed songs, the synthesizers. Just beautiful.
