Smerz – Feisty

Smerz - Big City Life

The artsy electronic pop from Smerz – a Norwegian duo, residing in the slightly more hipper Denmark – reminds me a bit of Chicks on Speed, except slightly more dreamy and less in your face. This includes the use of rap here on Feisty, which just happens to fit the song well. And that is what I like about Smerz: this isn’t art for art’s sake, or experimentation for experimentation’s sake, but it feels like they played around until they end up with some really fun pop songs.

There’s some kind of About page at the bottom of the first post. There is an Instagram account and also a Bluesky account and a playlist on Tidal. I am Martijn and this is my personal-professional website.
