Next month, Smerz will release a new six-song record called Easy. In a press release they say that they "went off on a tangent" while recording "Easy" at the end of the Big city life sessions, and that tangent led to this EP: "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."
[Last week], they've shared "Spring summer," a short and downcast song with hazy, dragging synthpop production. -Stereogum
