grooveless

Lacking carved indentations

Grooveless describes something lacking grooves—the channels, furrows, or indentations that typically give a surface texture or function.

A grooveless record would be unplayable; grooveless tires would have no traction.

Figuratively, grooveless can suggest something dull or lacking rhythm: The band's grooveless performance left the dance floor empty.
