After three incredible mixtapes, 18+ stepped into the spotlight last year with Trust, an album that collected tracks from the aforementioned tapes. What was particularly intriguing was the NY/L.A. duo’s accompanying pivot into the “physical” world, which saw them complicating 18+’s themes of anonymity and privacy by largely destroying the mystique that they themselves had helped create. As they put it in an interview with Simon Chandler, “It’s almost as if we are now the avatars, and 18+ is the user, which has been and continues to be a very surreal reversal.”
To that end, 18+ have announced a new round of European dates, all of them in August. You’ll see flesh. You’ll see hair. Maybe some blood by the end of the night. Check out the dates below, and keep your fingers crossed for a new album, rumored to be out this year on Houndstooth.
