Dream, Ivory

Dream, Ivory play YES, Manchester on 7 June 2026. The Orange County brothers Christian and Louie Baello craft hazy, guitar-led indie that moves between dream pop, shoegaze and bedroom pop. Started as a home project shared online, their early tracks mixed saturated guitars with soft, reverberant vocals and straightforward song structures, cultivating a melancholic atmosphere without losing a clear melodic line.

Over time the duo have shifted from lo‑fi intimacy toward denser productions: basslines pushed to the front, unhurried tempos with a slowcore tint, and hooks wrapped in thicker layers of guitars. Their 2022 album About A Boy marked that turn, bringing more personal storytelling into the arrangements while keeping the songs concise. On stage, Dream, Ivory expand to a fuller live setup, giving the material more space and leaning on the interplay between guitars and rhythm section. The show sketches their path from bedroom beginnings to a more refined, textured sound, anchored by mood, dynamics and economy of writing.
