La Force

Vinyl LP pressing. La Force is Ariel Engle, vocalist and newest member of Broken Social Scene, whose acclaimed 2017 album Hug of Thunder features her undeniable vocals on "Stay Happy" and "Gonna Get Better." Balancing grace and ferocity, she creates a dusky universe of godless devotional music that comes straight from the beating heart. Borrowing her identity from the tarot card representing Strength - depicting a woman with gentle dominance over a lion - 'La Force' captures the tender/powerful balance of the music. Produced with Warren Spicer (Plants & Animals), and featuring members of Broken Social Scene, SUUNS, Patrick Watson, and more fellow Montreal musicians, La Force is orbital soul music, with Engle's magnetic voice at it's core. Stepping up to the role first helmed by the immeasurable talents of Leslie Feist, Emily Haines (Metric), and Amy Millan (Stars), Engle brings La Force's singularity to the familial energy of Broken Social Scene.
