18+ return with ‘Collect’, their most ambitious and powerful work to date. Recorded collaboratively between Justin and Samia’s respective Berlin and Honolulu residences, the album is a product of their physical geographical distance and autobiographical individual growth: the fragmented meeting of displaced minds, reflecting on society’s interaction in a variety of contexts, from platonic, to professional, to economic. 18+ initially existed anonymously, while shows at the Venice Biennale, CTM Festival in Berlin and London’s Frieze Art Fair built more excitement for their identities to be revealed. Following the success of their 2014 debut album ‘Trust’, which garnered acclaim from the likes of FACT, Dummy, i-D, Rolling Stone Germany, Pigeons & Planes, The Guardian, DAZED and Interview Magazine, Justin and Samia’s profiles were thrown into public domain.
