Dream, Ivory shares “Tangerine Dream,” the track is off their recently announced album When You Come Back I Have So Much To Tell You, out July 18th. Along with the new the duo have announced a Fall tour supporting Wisp. On the single, they explain the track is “a song we wrote about someone who is self-deprecating in all facets of life. They’re at the creek withering at their own reflection, feeling both violence and sadness. The ‘orange hues’ cast by the sun represent the darkness of shadows one brings into the rest of their life without facing them.”

When You Come Back I Have So Much To Tell You follows Dream, Ivory’s 2022 debut LP, About a Boy. 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.”

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
