18 +

Salaciously trampolining between human lust and digital voyeurism, 18+ have been operating since 2011 but are now preparing to materialise from the sordid alcoves of cyberspace to put out a debut LP. Their minimal production style and R&B stained melodies are the backdrop for explicit lyricism and straightforward steamy subject matters. It sounds like DJ Mustard if he’d never met YG and lived alone in an abandoned bedsit above a strip club in Harrow. Lead single Crows is a trembling post-Rack City anthem for abandoned avatars. Then comes Horn; a spasmodic to-and-fro between the duo where “playing nice” are “pulling knives” are posed as propositions in an equally flirtatious manner. They have just put out a single through fabric’s Houndstooth imprint. Check them out, but keep them at arms length.
