Comment: Kago is Lauri Sommer (born in 1973), an Estonian poet, writer, and musician who has been releasing albums since 2003 on a small Estonian independent (folk, lo-fi, indie, experimental) label, called Õunaviks since 2003. Prior to Kago, LS had involved in various dada, ethnic, experimental and punk-defined groups. However, Ibipaio is the fifth issue of him which additionally to the physical format does include a small mp3 compilation of bucolic songs supplemented with pristine guitar handling, some treated distortions around it, though, the opening track is up at the base of the vintage chords of a keyboard. The lyrics above it used to be melancholic and contemplative ones seamlessly interlaced with surrealistic turns and eminences. The only shortage is related to the unit`s shortness. However, if you would like to enjoy the aesthetics of Kago forward while having no money or there are some reasons otherwise not to posess the main album then you could download Kago`s third album Monumentalnõi Holodilnik (2007) or his dadaistic side project (with Villem Valme) Tuljak`s Soos must vöö (2006) at the Records site.
