La Force

In the organizer's words:

XO SKELETON is the supple, steady, uncanny new album by La Force: a mixture of haunted pop and hot-blooded R&B that glistens at the meeting-point between life, death and love. "In dreams, the dead and living are the same," Ariel Engle sings on "october," her voice shimmering. "Maybe that's why I'm better in the dark."

The finality of death? The protection that another person's love can or cannot bestow? These are heady questions. But more than that they are body questions, matters of breath and flesh and pulse, which is the stuff at the center of all of La Force's music-beginning on her 2018 debut and also outward, into Engle's electrifying work with Broken Social Scene, Big Red Machine, Efrim Menuck, Safia Nolin, and AroarA, her duo with her husband, Andrew Whiteman. La Force's voice is stunning-somehow luscious and also wise-but so is her point of view-steady, sensitive, physical.
