Electric is the twelfth studio album by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys.

They had several unused songs, including "Axis", "Vocal", "Inside a Dream", "Shouting in the Evening", and a cover version of Bruce Springsteen's "The Last to Die".

[6][7] Their intention was to make a dance record,[8] and they enlisted Stuart Price, the music producer of their Pandemonium Tour, who had remixed the last single from Elysium, "Memory of the Future".

[9][11] Price decided to record the songs in alphabetical order, starting with "Axis" and ending with "Vocal",[10] which was finished on the day the album was scheduled to be completed.

[11] "Fluorescent" was added as a ninth track during the last month of recording after Chris Lowe sent Tennant a demo.

[19][10] On 30 April 2013, immediately following the official album announcement, "Axis" premiered with a video and digital release.

[30] "Fluorescent" was released as a limited edition 12-inch vinyl to celebrate Record Store Day 2014 on 19 April.

[33] Dorian Lynskey of Q praised several songs on the album and noted, "With Electric, Pet Shop Boys have succeeded spectacularly.

[44] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph commented that "Electric is the second really fantastic pop-dance blast of the year".

All tracks are written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, except where noted.Notes Credits adapted from the liner notes of Electric.
