Biography
Donawhale (도나웨일) is a South Korean indie rock band on the Pastel Music label, comprised of You Jin Young (Piano & Vocal), Youn Sung Hoon (guitar), and Jung Da Young (bass). They formed in 2004, and released their self-titled debut album Donawhale in 2007. Kim Min Joon (ex-drummer) was a member from the beginning, but left in early 2009 due to personal situations.
Donawhale's songs are complex and vibrant, multi-faceted and melodically driven. Instruments weave hypnotic tapestries in which one could easily lose oneself. Throughout the music, vocalist You Jin Young shines. She sings with confidence and strength, while the music frames the perfect backdrop for her voice – the common thread that runs through each of the album's thirteen song tapestries.
