All Hands_Make Light (stylized as ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT) is a Canadian experimental noise-pop duo, consisting of singer Ariel Engle and instrumentalist Efrim Menuck. ^[1]

The project was launched in 2020 after Engle, associated with AroarA and Broken Social Scene, and Menuck, a member of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, decided to work on something together, and took shape through filesharing over the internet after the COVID-19 pandemic limited opportunities to collaborate in person. ^[1] They released their self-titled debut album in 2021, and gave their first live performances including an appearance at the 2021 Pop Montreal festival. ^[1]

They followed up in 2023 with Darling the Dawn , ^[2] which was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. ^[3]
