Back in 2018, the Canadian musician Ariel Engle released her first album as La Force, which arrived just a year after she made her first on-record appearance as a member of Broken Social Scene on their comeback LP Hug Of Thunder. Engle has deep roots in the Canadian music scene, and earlier this year she teamed up with Efrim Manuel Menuck of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion for a new duo called ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT, and they released their debut album just last month.
