Description
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 thats why Im better in the dark. The finality of death? The protection that another persons love can or cannot bestow? These are body questions, matters of breath and flesh and pulse, which is the stuff at the centre of all of La Forces musicbeginning on her 2018 debut and also outward, into Engles electrifying work with Broken Social Scene, Big Red Machine, Efrim Menuck, Safia Nolin, and AroarA, her duo with her husband, Andrew Whiteman. La Forces voice is stunningsomehow luscious and also wisebut so is her point of viewsteady, sensitive, physical. Engle made the album at home, in the house where she grew up, where she got married, where her father dieda place thats both completely dead and completely alive, she says: a structure at the threshold of her inner and outer worlds. Off and on for two whole years, Engles old friend, co-producer Warren Spicer (Plants and Animals), would work in her basement until lunch, allowing songs to unfold at heartbeat pace. Shes been unhealthily obsessed with death, she says, since she was a child, and XO Skeleton is a kind of reckoning: a coming-to-terms with the oblivion that bookends a life, but also the gooey centre of love, loss, touch, and memory. Throughout, XO Skeleton is electric + vivid, and also tactile + grimy. It bends and turns with its every shift of pulse35 mournful minutes; but also searching, turned on. Like a body, you might say. Or the memory of one. 1. condition of us 2. how do you love a man 3. october 4. empty sympathy 5. rock song 6. xo skeleton 7. ouroboros 8. zipolite 9. outrun the sun
