Strange Universe has begun, and opening the line-up is Norwegian duo Smerz!
Performing off the back of their 2025 album, Big City Life, Smerz eloquently flit between slower, melancholic tracks and flirtier club numbers, all bound by this thread of romance that runs throughout their work. Blending experimental art pop, electronic, alternative R&B, and even classical elements, their sound embraces the unpredictable, making them impossible to pin down to a single genre.
