As a member of Broken Social Scene, Engle most recently appeared on the band's sixth album , released back in May. "Darth Vapour" is La Force's first new music since her 2024 album , 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.”
