Dream, Ivory + losers!

The title of Dream, Ivory’s sophomore album, When You Come Back I Have So Much to Tell You, evokes both anticipation and foreboding. Initially, the duo comprising brothers Christian and Louie Baello thought of the album as a conversation between two people separated by a long distance, their inevitable reunion the sole light at the end of a dark tunnel. But as time wore on, the brothers developed a new interpretation.

During the SoundCloud rap boom, the brothers started uploading their own DIY offerings to the internet, but that short-lived rap project soon evolved into Dream, Ivory. Largely inspired by shoegaze, surf rock, and shapeshifting artists like Damon Albarn, the brothers quickly amassed an organic fanbase online. They have over 450 million streams across their catalogue and their debut single “welcome goodbye” is RIAA certified gold.
