A collective of musicians led by former Cloud Room members Dave Horowitz and Steve Milton, Lavalier churn out a well-crafted range of chamber pop that should satisfy the palates of all kinds of music lovers. The band just debuted this lo-fi collage-style video for the song "Santa Claus Ain’t Coming". One of their most rocking tracks to date, the track revolves around a very Pixies-ish (or "Pixian"?) alternation of tempos (4/4 and 6/4) and a melody reminiscent of the best post-Beatles Lennon. We like this a lot. Lavalier (Deli NYC Band of the Month in January) will be playing The Deli’s NYC B.E.A.F. (Best of Emerging Artist Fest) in Williamsburg on May 2011 together with about 50 other up and coming NYC artists.
