When gotlandic band Kinkaid split up after playing together for four years in the fall of 2002, they left a 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, and with the welcome addition of guitarist Emil Yttergren. While maintaining their diverse musical infuences their focus now lies on crafting powerful and moving songs.Their live performances posess a rare intensity and leaves you with a warm, happy/sad feeling as they 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.
