First Light's Third Space #12 - Suny & Ikea Customer Service

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

This episode of Third Space features Suny and Ikea Customer Service. The first half of the show sees Suny pay homage to the natural spaces and creatives that make them feel close to the city.

In the second portion of the show, Ikea Customer Service explores what Oslo has meant to them since moving to the capital mid-pandemic.

In their own words: "This is a very simple solipsistic mix in the end; a mix of field recordings from long pram walks, bus rides and lullabies, some songs I’ve written to stay sane, and some songs of others that have kept us afloat. And lots of our daughter being a massive beacon of light."
