They create nostalgic tracks that echo the feeling of endless summer nights and neon-lit memories. In addition to singing, Sorrentino works alongside producer and artist Daniel Schuster, in writing lyrics and music for their duo. With two standout album releases, American Summer and Love and Lies, Lavallette continues to shape the sound of contemporary synthwave.
