Biography
Kago is recording artist and poet Lauri Sommer. He is based in Viljandi, Estonia.
Kago created “Almost a Memory,” in response to Sparrow Hall’s short story, Two Blue Wolves. The song is featured on the Two Blue Wolves Soundtrack.
Kago's music has moved through many styles, including punk, folk, indie, dada-electro, chorals and trad seto. In 2000, he began experimenting in music for children’s cartoons. Childish piano pieces, troubadour songs, bedroom electronics, archaic vocal fantasies and punk fingerpicking became Kago´s debut album, Piimash.
After returning to his childhood town of Viljandi, Kago’s music began to take on a more organic, pastoral feel, leading to his second release, Köngerjönks, in which he implemented a dictaphone to create what he calls "stretched bits and sadness."
Singer Liisu Iduvigik contributed to Kago’s third album, Mopskassi Maja, and can be heard on the Two Blue Wolves song "Almost a Memory" singing an abstract melody that "came to her in a dream."
Almost a Memory was recorded in a cottage on Sommer's grandfather's old farm in the secluded town of Räestu, deep in the south of Estonia.
