Babehoven have released new single “Three Reds,” the track is off the duo’s announced LP, I See Them, I See Me, arriving September 18th via Double Double Whammy (Dari Bay, This is Lorelei). “”Three Reds” was inspired by a game we play on tour — we gain points by counting cars of the same color passing by,” Bon explains. “The song plays with synesthesia and the tension between concealment and exposure, sitting with the idea that we are made of the same stuff as everything that came before us, and how that can feel like both a warning and a celebration at the same time.”

I See Them, I See Me, Babehoven’s third studio album, probes into the idea of a “parallax view”– different perspectives on the same reality–as the band seeks to reorient themselves in relation to society’s increasingly warped ways of being and seeing.

In 2024, during Babehoven’s first headline tour, Bon suffered from paralysis of her right vocal chord. For much of the next year, she was unable to sing, and she was told that she might never recover. “I have so much gratitude now that I am able to sing again,” Bon says. “To not only sing, but to sing with joy. I think part of the idea of ‘having fun’ with this album is trying to really enjoy what we can do, the gifts we have.” In light of this, the album rings out as a sort of triumphant fist-pump, the flash of a battle scar.

Around the time of her vocal injury, Bon underwent nine sessions of high-dose ketamine therapy for depression. Each session sent her into a kind of lucid dreaming, and many of the lyrics on the album have a surreal, associative quality, further blurring the edges of reality. “As things with climate change and the state of the world get more dire and confusing,” Bon says, “it’s hard to tell sometimes if what we’re experiencing is reality because it feels so unbelievably grim.” Albert agrees, adding, “We have a beautiful life, and also we are witnessing catastrophe after catastrophe happen around the world.” It is another parallax view: what is real and what is a dream?
