Laws of Illusion is the seventh studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan. It was released on 11 June 2010 on Arista Records in the United States and 15 June 2010 on Nettwerk in Canada. Recording for the album took place in Montreal and Vancouver and production was handled by Pierre Marchand, with whom McLachlan has frequently collaborated in the past.[2]
According to McLachlan, her original idea for the album's title was Loss and Illusion. When she suggested it to Marchand, he misunderstood her as saying Laws of Illusion; she chose to use that as the final title instead.[3]
