La Force, the mesmerizing solo project from Ariel Engle, unveils today the title track from her brand-new album XO SKELETON. “xo skeleton, the song – is the overarching theme of the record,” says Ariel. “It’s an image I’d love as protection. A carapace that keeps the goo inside. This protection is in love, kisses, and hugs. It’s what bolsters us in life. The love is an invisible shroud that we adorn others in and are adorned in. It’s a reminder that within us are skeletons. Symbols of death and yet the architecture that animated us while we are alive. It’s a song about the inevitability of death as both a motivator to love fully and at times disincentivizing Force – why bother if I’m going to die versus I must do so much while I’m still alive.” XO SKELETON the sophomore full length will be out this Friday.
