Bleep

Smerz are back to rebirth pop music on Big city life. Following Believer, their music seems to have gotten more lucid, more real world, yet no less labyrinthine in its presentation. “Are you a girl or a lady?” ‘But i do’ asks, as if conscious Smerz are growing into their career on their second full length album with maturity informing their unbridled pop experimentation, while the constant crush of drums rotates alongside a strutting bass synth. With a twisted metropolitan vibe, the duo explore a world that has opened up to them through winding piano riffs, nonchalant lyrics, and big slick chamber pop anthems like ‘You got time and I got money’.
