POP Montréal : La Force au Rialto Rooftop

Fri 26 Sep 2025 • 06:30 pm Alternative / Indie Rock
Rialto Rooftop - Montréal Complet
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

La Force est le projet solo envoûtant d’Ariel Engle, l’une des collaboratrices musicales les plus recherchées au Canada depuis plus de dix ans. Née et établie à Montréal, l’expérience d’Engle s’étend du rock indépendant de Broken Social Scene à la pop québécoise et à l’avant-garde expérimentale, culminant avec ses deux premiers albums solo, La Force (2018) et l’étonnant XO SKELETON (2023). XO SKELETON est le nouvel album souple, constant et étrange de La Force : un mélange de pop envoûtante et de R&B fougueux qui scintille à la croisée de la vie, de la mort et de l’amour. C’est une sorte de bilan : une prise en compte de l’oubli qui encadre une vie, mais aussi du cœur visqueux de l’amour, de la perte, du toucher et du souvenir. En 2018, Engle a lancé La Force, qui a été nominé pour la liste préliminaire du Prix Polaris et a attiré l’attention de Stereogum, du Globe & Mail et de l’émission « Morning Becomes Electric » de NPR, ainsi que d’Aaron Dessner de The National, qui l’a recruté pour figurer sur l’album Big Red Machine (2021) aux côtés de Bon Iver, Taylor Swift, Fleet Foxes et Sharon Van Etten. Engle a également été invité à contribuer aux récents albums de Safia Nolin, l’une des auteures-compositrices-interprètes les plus importantes du Canada français, et de Patrick Watson, qui a utilisé leur collaboration comme premier single de Better In The Shade (2022). Entre-temps, Engle a partagé la scène avec des artistes comme Maggie Rogers, Martha Wainwright et The Barr Brothers.

La Force is the mesmerizing solo project of Ariel Engle, who has spent more than a decade as one of Canada’s most sought-after musical collaborators. Born and based in Montreal, Engle’s experience reaches from Broken Social Scene’s indie rock to Québecois pop and the experimental avant-garde, culminating in her first two solo records, 2018’s La Force, and the astonishing XO SKELETON, released in 2023. 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. It is a kind of reckoning: a coming-to-terms with the oblivion that bookends a life, but also the gooey center of love, loss, touch, and memory. In 2018 Engle released La Force, garnering a Polaris Prize long-list nomination and drawing attention from Stereogum, the Globe & Mail, and NPR’s “Morning Becomes Electric,” as well as The National’s Aaron Dessner, who recruited Engle to appear on the 2021 Big Red Machine LP alongside Bon Iver, Taylor Swift, Fleet Foxes and Sharon Van Etten. Engle was also invited to contribute to recent records by Safia Nolin, one of the most important singer-songwriters in French Canada, and Patrick Watson, who used their collaboration as the lead single on 2022’s Better In The Shade. Meanwhile, Engle has shared stages with the likes of Maggie Rogers, Martha Wainwright and The Barr Brothers.
