Kristian Dunn (El Ten Eleven) and Damon Che (Don Caballero) have formed a new band, Yesness, whose debut album, See You at the Solipsist Convention, will arrive on November 22 via Joyful Noise Recordings. Check out the lead single, ‘Not So Sorry Now Are You?’, below.
Karl Hofstetter, founder and curator of Joyful Noise, introduced the pair via email in April 2023. “We were ships in the night of the musical variety until Karl found a way to merge our paths,” Che commented. “There are very few comparisons in the aesthetic approach to how we created the music. We worked remotely for eight months before physically meeting for the first time at the recording studio.”
About the new song, Dunn said: “This is one of the first songs I decided to add a bit of piano to. The part is ridiculously simple but seems to add some gravitas and still leave plenty of room for Damon to do his thing!”
“Aped the double heart throb bass drum pattern from the drummer in my dad’s band I always admired when I was a teenager,” Che added. “I’m glad Kristian put the piano passage in this one. It takes me back to when music was classy without even trying.”
