Donawhale is one of the many awesome groups from Pastel Music.
The music is dreamy with beautiful female vocals.
And the illustrations on their album is gorgeous.

I don't really know how to describe their music but I really like their album.
To me it has a very dreamy sound. Whispery echos, that kind of thing.
You can check out their music here. I hope you like their music,
And yes, the illustrations are awesome.

[FLY HIGHHH]

sounds a bit like rock.. soft rock. i like it. thank you for posting the links.

[Mardi09]

i watched their spring day video...it was unexpected....because i didn't expect to see the illustrations and all....but i liked it...although i don't get it...but then...the female vocals are really awesome! just like you said...really soothing too....

-edit later after listening to the others-

Haha. You beat me in making a Donawhale thread. x : I've been listening to them a lot lately! Their album sounds really nice if you listen in order. xD

If you want to listen to the entire album, you can click here: http://jie-yi.imeem.com/playlist/RtEBQSst/...music_playlist/

You'll need an account to listen though. : /

If you go on youtube.com/monokurotv, you can browse through the videos and look for Donawhale. It's all uploaded there.

Mardi- I think their genre is more like alternative rock.

[queenofpainting]

I've been listening to that album a lot lately. It's really, really good!

[JPizMe]

Oh Yeah, it feels great to find some fellow Donawhale-Fans! =D.
I'm really in love with the echo song, and the echo jellyboy-remix ofcourse haha.

Here is a youtube link for echo ^^;.

Too bad i can't find much about them.
They are a new/unknown band so it seems :].

[pink_kafka]

I would describe their music as dreamly shoegaze. they are shoegaze-ish in my opinion
it's really hard to find some infos bout them, especially in english, so I post a link with review of their album. even if I can't totally agree with Jenny Wu (she made this article), her article is quite nice and professional. REVIEW

and I was surprised, coz normally I'm not big fan of remixes, but I've found that I like Jelly Boy Remix quite much.

[krcn_seeker]

Hi!!! I'm really excited that there is a Donawhale topic!! I heard some of their songs and now I really want to check out the full album. Do you know where i can dl it? They remind me of a cross between Misty Blue and Bluedawn.

[yuns]

^Yes, they remind me of Misty Blue and Bluedawn too. I find them softer than Misty Blue but more rock than Bluedawn. There's a bit more variation in their music compared to Bluedawn. I love the sound of the rain at the beginning of 비오는 밤 and the piano sounds really melancholy and nice during it.

[Laren]

My best friend and I love this group to death.

This is a really good album, worth the money for sure.

[yushui]

^ Haha. I agree! I really love listening to the album in order because it flows really well together. It's like continuous, woven imagery. Lovely~

To start some discussion, what are your (everyone's) top 3 favorite songs from the first Donawhale album?

Mine are Acacia, Foolstar, and Feb. It was hard to choose because the "standout" songs (Close Your Eyes, Echo, A Spring Day, etc) were also amazing, but I could listen to my top 3 all day. Haha.

[lonely_rain...]

i like the song hole <3 i think its beautiful!

[elepop]

I hope that they will release something new soon. It's been 2 years since their 1st album!

donawhale mini interview!

[blueocean80]

Do you guys know where to find the lyrics in hangul? I managed to find only a few, and I'm dying to get my grubby hands on Echo, but my Korean is not good enough to guess the lyrics from the song.

[motoway065]

finally got around trying their stuff and i'm loving it. I'm really liking their instrumentals...sometimes it reminds me of dear cloud in their heavier sounding songs. i haven't listened to all their songs yet but so far i like:

vol.1
close your eyes
a spring day
꽃이피다
Echo - Jelly Boy Remix

and

vol. 2
반딧불소년
doremi
(haven't gotten past track 3 yet)

[aircastles]

Just heard a few songs of them and i like it. It's really soft and simple sounding....really sweet and calming, you could say. So I'm assuming their new album has already come out/is going to come out soon? I'd like to listen~
