La Force returns with new song, “Darth Vapour”

01 October 2026, 12:31 | Written by Kayla Sandiford

La Force — the solo project of Broken Social Scene's Ariel Engle — has released her new single, "Darth Vapour".

As a member of Broken Social Scene, Engle most recently appeared on the band's sixth album ,Remember The Humans, released back in May. "Darth Vapour" is La Force's first new music since her 2024 album XO SKELETON +, and serves as the first preview of a yet-to-be-announced album coming next year.

Speaking about the track, Engle explains: “The song ‘Darth Vapor’ was born out of an improvised jam session in a small one-room studio in Montreal. I picked up a right-handed bass hanging on the wall and started playing it upside down, because I'm left-handed. I remember it all coming together at once - Liam [O'Neil] on some kind of rhythm-generating machine, and Thom Gill on a soft synth. Later, Liam and I shaped the raw take, and the theme emerged. The song is about excavation, consumption, and lust - both my own seemingly endless need to consume, and that of the world’s population. This endless want in the face of a finite world of resources.”

"Darth Vapour" is out now on Secret City Records
