Copenhagen based duo Smerz take you to the dark corners of the club in the video for new track No harm. As premiered on their new NTS show, Catharina and Henriette’s new track showcases a darker side to their musical palate, a feeling echoed in their visuals. The video was produced and directed by Smerz, and as with all Smerz music, the track was produced, programmed and sung entirely by the Norwegian duo. Watch it below via YouTube.
The duo use their first hour-long NTS mix to play everything from minimalist R&B to deconstructed club music and full on techno floor-fillers, introducing listeners to their eclectic palate and wide range of influences. It’s a display they are bringing to various European cities this winter with their series of ‘Half life’ parties, which started in Copenhagen with a sold out show and after-party on Saturday.
Henriette and Catharina, who comprise Smerz, were raised in Norway but it wasn’t until they relocated to Denmark that they started collaborating on the music that garnered the early attention of underground radio troupes NTS and Benji B. Smerz, who consistently blend sounds from various influences, are a finely crafted collision of different musical genres that FADER notes, “was incubated over years of late-night clubbing.”
In July Smerz completed their first set of U.S.A. shows in NYC, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The live set, which i-D calls “enchanting,” sees the duo performing side by side as captured in their recent performance at NTS’s Tate late night series.
