O celebrate the release of their debut album, Firstness (dBUT interambience 2022), joined by Jan Martin Gismervik and Fredrik Rasten. Their music exists in a liminal zone between songs and acoustic free-form, and could be described as "melted folk," with an unorthodox blend of guitar, viola da gamba, and voice.

The album was created and recorded in close collaboration with Gismervik, whose distinctive sound on this release merges effortlessly with O’s. On Firstness, O sets out to explore what a song is and could be. The result is a deeply personal synthesis of conventional song form and experimental improvisation.
