Dream, Ivory

On 9 June 2026 at Oslo Hackney in London, Dream, Ivory step on stage with the intimate-meets-expansive sound that has defined the Baello brothers since their early recordings. Raised in Southern California as first‑generation Filipino Americans, Christian and Louie grew up on their parents’ records — ABBA, the Bee Gees, the Beatles — and those melodies filter through their blend of dream pop, shoegaze and indie rock.

In the studio, Christian steers production and guitar textures while Louie carries the lyrics and voice; every track is still built hand in hand, and the duo also design their own artwork and videos. From lo-fi bedroom beginnings to more layered arrangements, they have pushed their songs toward denser guitars, weightier basslines and slow, patient rhythms, a shift framed clearly on their 2022 album About A Boy.

Live, Dream, Ivory expand into a fuller setup, giving their reverb-draped vocals and hazy guitars more room to resound. The set moves between reflective passages and steady, driving swells, threading slowcore undercurrents through alt-pop contours — a snapshot of where the project stands today.
