Formed in 2008, Lavalier is the product of long-time friends and musical collaborators Steve Milton and Dave Horowitz. Having met in high school, the pair have played in various bands together, and spent 2005-2007 touring internationally with The Cloud Room. Departing from their couch surfing/touring days, Lavalier was born out of their penchant for Tom Waits' DIY lo-fi sound, lush Beach Boys harmonies, fuzz/slide guitar, and accordion.
Their live performances feature the use of spatialization techniques - sampling instruments and vocals in real-time using a custom-designed interface played over strategically-placed speakers at each venue, to create a unique, fantastical listening experience.
