Round 2 of Field Notes where we take a deeper dive into a GM26 act. Up next, we're shining a spotlight on Smerz, the buzzy Norwegian electronic duo...
Who...
Captivatingly weird, Smerz's sound has been described as "music that reminds you of the club but is by no means club music". The Norwegian electronic due - Henriette Motzfeldt and Catharina Stoltenberg - marry classical music compistion to pop and trip-hop immediacy.
For fans of...
- ML Buch
- Baxter Dury
- Fckuers
- Blood Orange
- Erika De Casier
Why should you see them?
Smerz's performances are known as a mix between an immersive art installation, a club set, and a contemporary opera. With moody lighting and surreal visuals, you'll be tranported into a starry-eyed world that feels intimate and slightly unreal.
In 3 words...
Glitchy, atmospheric, playful
What to listen to?
Start with 'You Got Time And I Got Money' - A standout, romantic track from 2025.
Then try 'Spring Summer' - Another dose of postmodern pop courtesy of their new EP
