Hovet is most known to be the backup band to swedish singer/songwriter Lars Winnerbäck. The band was composed of musicians that Winerbäck had worked with through the years and was offically formed in 2000. The band toured with Winnerbäck during 2001 when he recorded his first live record ...Live för dig! and recorded Söndermarken with Winnerbäck in Demanrk. When Lars announced to the band that he was planning to record the acoustic album Vatten under broarna Hovet decided to reocrd an album on their own.

The band moved out to a rented house in Kisa during the winter of 2004 and divided themselfes in teams to write music. The band soon had thirteen songs which they brought to Stockholm to record them. All of the songs were recorded live with the entire band playing together with very few overdubs. All of the bandmembers then divided the vocals beetween them, the whole album took five days to record. The records artwork was done by Winnerbäck and the reocrd was released on their own label Hovet Records.

Hovet later joined up to record the Ep Stort liv and later recorded two new songs for Winnerbäcks dubbel disc compilation album Efter nattens bränder aswell as tour in support of both records. In 2007 Winnerbäck annunced that he was going to record his next album Daugava without Hovet, the only member to particapate during the reocrding was Johna Persson. Winnerbäck claimed that he had to work with new musicians in order not to repeat himself and that he could work again with Hovet in the future.
