Smerz 'Easy EP' out now | On Tour

SMERZ RELEASE ‘EASY EP

OUT TODAY VIA ESCHO


ON TOUR NOW

(Smerz by Smerz)



Today Smerz release their new Easy EP via Escho.


Easy is a six-track EP, which the duo describes as follows: “At the tail end of finishing Big city life last year, we made the song "Easy” and from there went off on a tangent. Many of Big city life’s songs are rooted in specific stories, this Easy EP presented itself in a more open-ended process—almost like a daily journal. It began as a snapshot of a moment, one that was about to become our spring last year, and was finished moving into spring of 2026.” 


It’s already been a major year for Smerz. In March, the duo took home two of Norway’s most prestigious music honors—the Spellemann Awards, often regarded as the country’s equivalent to the Grammys—for International Success of the Year and Best Alternative Pop Album for Big city life. They also appeared on the cover of Homme Girls, shot by artist Fumiko Imano, opened for Lorde last night in Los Angeles, and saw their breakout track “You got time and I got money” featured in The Drama.


Big city life was one of last year’s most celebrated releases, landing across a wide sweep of year-end “Best Of” lists and earning Smerz a spot as an Artist to Watch from The New York Times. Meanwhile, “You got time and I got money” continues to take on a life of its own online—captivating a global audience of cosmopolitan city-dwellers drawn to the tension between everyday reality and dreamlike escape.
