Yesan Damen began in late 2004 as a solo acoustic project, and ultimately evolved into an ever-changing cast of friends with eclectic musical tastes and stylistic inclinations. Singer/songwriter Danny Kwak [formerly of autumn sonata] simply describes their first release as a “pop” record, mainly because they attempted to keep the focus on songwriting. Most would agree, however, that The Never Beginning Story displays a wide range of styles and despite the simple nature of each song, keeps the listener engaged with its vast instrumentation and thoughtful, relatable lyrics.
