Praise for Dream, Ivory:


"romantic, drifting dream pop" - Stereogum


“traces the roots of shoegaze, wobbly alt-rock, and the murk of SoundCloud uploads” - Alt Press


“a cosmic synth track that might as well have been ripped out of your favorite suburban coming-of-age film” - Paste Magazine


"incandescent dream pop" - Vice


“Lo-fi distortion” - Nylon


“rides the line between fun and devastating” - Consequence


Los Angeles duo Dream, Ivory have released their new album, When You Come Back I Have So Much To Tell You, due out July 18th. Next month, they’ll head out on a full North American tour with breakout shoegaze star Wisp. Additionally, the band have shared a new music video for emotional album centerpiece “Sometimes,” an "oxymoronic song about a relationship that has ended. Both parties have been over each other for a good while, but accept the fact that in its rarity, the thought of one another seems to always make its way to the forefront of their brains regardless of past trauma."


Growing up in Southern California, brothers Christian and Louie Baello were each other’s universe. “We experienced the world through the same frame,” Christian says. That frame was heavily influenced by the number of times they moved, their identity as first generation Filipino Americans, and their parents’ love of music. Enlisted in piano lessons by their dad at a young age (“it wasn’t a choice,” Louie jokes), the Baello brothers cut their teeth covering the music their parents were raised on, everything from ABBA and the Bee Gees to the Beatles. Christian helms the production on Dream, Ivory tracks while Louie is the primary lyricist/vocalist, but every song they make is a true collaboration. Music has always been central to their sense of self-perception, but it’s just one of the brothers’ many talents. Together, they make all of Dream, Ivory’s artwork, videos, and visuals, it’s working: They have over 450 million streams across their catalogue and their debut single “welcome goodbye” is RIAA certified gold.


When You Come Back I Have So Much To Tell You follows Dream, Ivory’s 2022 debut LP, About a Boy, an album that interrogates difficult topics surrounding mental illness and suicidality with grace and conviction. When You Come Back… incubates a distinctive period in the brothers’ lives defined by dislocation and addiction. When their parents decided to move back to the Philippines, Louie moved to Los Angeles to live with Christian and his girlfriend, Lilia Shibuya, who contributed writing to the album. Though the brothers have been prolific since their teenage years, they stagnated as cohabitants. “We just didn’t really give a fuck about creating in that moment, there was just no inspiration in our lives,” Christian says. “Instead of writing, we’d get shitfaced drunk. It was bad. We’d record a riff, then take a shot.” 


The brothers attribute that lack of inspiration to their early achievements. At 19, raking in tens of thousands of listeners on a single track felt like a major accomplishment, but the more Dream, Ivory grew, the benchmark for success leveled up. “There’s so much riding on our old shit, coming up with something new felt like going to the fucking moon,” Christian says. The moon being far, Christian spiraled. “I was drinking so much and getting caught by my brother, my girlfriend,” he says. “I was kicked out of our place.” But bottoming out eventually renewed his sense of purpose. Christian got sober, moved back in with his loved ones, and a songwriting breakthrough expanded their imagination of what Dream, Ivory could be.
