Filipino indie-rock band We Are Imaginary has released the official music video for “Are We There Yet?,” a single from its self-titled 2026 album. The video looks back on the band’s 18-year journey in the independent music scene, bringing together performance footage, candid moments, and visual references that reflect its history.
Directed by Jam Lasin of Cream Flower, the music video captures the band in its element while recognizing the people who helped shape its sound and career, including former members and collaborators.
For We Are Imaginary, the video is also an expression of gratitude to the people and organizations that have been part of its journey.
“Keeping the fire burning is another hard choice, especially in a fickle scene and as a band that doesn't really follow trends,” the band shared in a press statement. “We won't be here without our past members and labels, so hopefully the music video sends a message that all we feel is gratitude.”
A second collaboration with Cream Flower
“Are We There Yet?” marks the band’s second music video collaboration with Lasin, following “Object of My Affliction.”
Longtime admirers of Cream Flower’s visual aesthetic, the band entrusted Lasin and his team to translate its ideas into the new video.
The song itself has a history that goes back to the band’s pre-pandemic album project. It was among the earliest compositions guitarist Khalid Tanji wrote for We Are Imaginary. Its current version retains the driving momentum and post-punk guitar sensibilities of the original demo.
The track appears on the band’s self-titled album, released in January 2026.
Vinyl and merchandise launch set for November 8
The release campaign continues on November 8 at Saguijo, where We Are Imaginary will hold a vinyl and merchandise launch alongside live performances from fellow artists.
The event will introduce the band’s first official tote bag and its first vinyl release, giving listeners another way to experience and keep a piece of its music.
The vinyl release was made possible through Eikon Records PH’s Rick Olivares, with production expertise from Joey Santos of Floppy Disk.
For the band, having its music available in a physical format carries a particular significance.
“We get giddy like schoolchildren having our music in tangible form,” said Ahmad Tanji of We Are Imaginary.
New music on the horizon
After the current album campaign, We Are Imaginary plans to return to the studio. New material is already taking shape, with the band hoping to release new music in 2027.
It also looks forward to performing in more cities across the Philippines and overseas.
The official music video for “Are We There Yet?” is available on We Are Imaginary’s official YouTube channel, with its release scheduled for November 6, 2026, at 12:00 a.m.
