Though they’ve been making music for several years, very little is
known about the LA duo 18+. But their trilogy of mixtapes — which ended
with last year’s incredible MIXTAP3 — speaks for itself, as it
cycles through murky, lyrically disturbed R&B and hip-hop. 18+
recently released two of the best songs off that tape, “Horn” and
“Crow,” as their first official single,
and now the latter of those has been paired with a music video. Sliding
through grainy footage, the clip is divided into three visual sections
that switch in rhythm with the insistent, repetitive crow sample that
helps to build the minimalist beat. Eventually flies crawl across the
screen, adding to the pretty unease of the song. There is plenty of
subtle weirdness thrown in, too, such as the random smiley face that
pops up without explanation, or the fact that the first frame is a
paused YouTube screen for the “Gangnam Style” video. It answers no
questions, just weaves an extra layer into this musical mystery.
