Novak – Perpetual Motion
When gotlandic band Kinkaid split up after playing together for four years in the fall of 2002, they left a big void in Gotlands musicscene. With their experimental mix of powerpop, psychadelia and reggae they left their fans wanting more.
Out of the ashes rose; Novak, consisting of some of the founding members of Kinkaid. While maintaining their diverse musical infuences their focus now lies on crafting powerful and moving songs. Novak is a pop/rock band with a quite own brand of quality songwriting, dabbling in pop, rock, americana and 70´s balladry but they’re not a retro band and have created a up to date and very own sound of their influences.
Their live performances possess a rare intensity and leaves you with a warm, happy/sad feeling as the band guide you through their own unique brand of quality songwriting, dabbling in pop, rock, americana and 70´s balladry.
The lyrics often tend to deal with the frustration of everyday boredom, sometimes born out of living in a small town, or on an an island in the middle of an ocean. In other words; classic escapism.
This, their debut, album was recorded and produced by Pierre Lindsjöö in his studio studio Konst&Ramar (where he have recorded bands as Ceasars Palace, Dungen, Empire Dogs, Strip Music and many more). The album was mixed by the super talented Linus Larsson (who have worked with Ed Harcourt, Mercury Rev, Nicolai Dunger, Heikki).
