Smerz, the Norwegian duo of Henriette Motzfeldt and Catharina Stoltenberg, seamlessly weave together techniques and sounds pulled from chamber and classical music, hip hop, R&B, and hard electronics, with the end product always resulting in something altogether uncanny. With Believer, their 2021 debut full-length album on XL Recordings, Smerz formalize the boundless sonic world that started to emerge within each of their debut EP’s and in their running NTS monthly residency.
