Retrieved April 5, 2015〕 == History and career == Having met at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Swinburne and Mirza launched the 18+ project in 2011 under anonymous pseudonyms. Their first recordings, a trilogy of mixtapes entitled ''M1xtape'', ''Mixta2e'', and ''Mixtap3'', were launched online under the anonymous titles of 'Boy' and 'Sis'.〔〔Hillyard, Kim (2015) "(Next Wave #623: 18+ )", ''Clash'', February 17, 2015. Retrieved April 5, 2015〕 Much of the band's lyrical content concerns sex.〔Maher, Amelia (2014) "(18+ - Trust )", thefourohfive.com, November 14, 2014.

Retrieved April 5, 2015〕 Mirza commented on this: "I don't ever think the way we represent sex is explicitly sexy; we're not trying to seduce. We're playing up to roles we still see in music today."〔 In August 2014, 18+ released their first single, "Crow"/"Horn", on London nightclub Fabric's record label Houndstooth. This was followed by their debut album, ''Trust'', which was released on Houndstooth in November 2014.〔 Killian Fox, writing in ''The Observer'', said of the album "Trust moves at a stoned pace, oozing sex and a glitchy sense of unease, though it’s never clear whether it’s critiquing its excesses or revelling in them."〔Fox, Killian (2014) "(18+: Trust review – art-school R&B duo not quite as subversive as they think )", ''The Observer'', November 9, 2014. Retrieved April 5, 2015〕 The band's follow-up single, "Dry",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=18+ Announce new single Dry / Body. )〕 was released on Houndstooth on 23rd February 2015. In January and February 2015, 18+ toured ''Trust'' in the US and Europe,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=18+ announce winter 2015 tour - Music News - Tiny Mix Tapes )〕 including dates in Los Angeles, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「18+ (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
