This is a love song that is absolutely stuck to my ribs.

If Smerz is new to you, know that it’s new to me, too — and probably a lot of other American listeners. Smerz is a Norwegian electronic music duo (Catharina Stoltenberg, Henriette Motzfeldt) based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Oslo, Norway. 

And this woozy, understated anthem is so damn good, I’ve already listened to it three times today (and counting). The lyrics are sensual with a dash of adolescent sweetness and a bit funny, too (“baby, can I see you naked / even though I love how you dress”).

Smerz have a new album, “Big City Life,” out on May 23 via Escho (which also puts out music from Astrid Sonne, who is in heavy rotation on In The Groove, too).

Listen to the In The Groove song of the week below.
