Conspiratorial and captivatingly weird, Smerz’s latest album Big city life was described as “music that reminds you of the club but is by no means club music”. The Norwegian electronic duo — Henriette Motzfeldt and Catharina Stoltenberg — capture the lonely absurdities of urban existence as well as the warm fun parts. They marry classical music composition to pop and trip-hop immediacy, to slinky and droll effect.
