La Sécurité Share Dancey New Single/Video “Deny” | New LP Out 6/12
La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is an art punk collective known for their electrifying mix of jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements, and minimalistic melodic hooks, all filtered through the city’s neon-soaked energy. Their music is both danceable and slightly dangerous, with lyrics inspired by the Riot Grrrl ethos that celebrate women’s autonomy, friendships, and acts of benevolence. Following their Polaris Music Prize 2024 long-listed debut Stay Safe! and its remix companion, the band released singles like “Detour” and “Ketchup,” setting the stage for their sophomore album Bingo!, this time also partnering with the iconic Bella Union. With it, they continue to playfully navigate the edges of punk, new wave, and krautrock, refusing to stay within any single genre.
Offstage, La Sécurité’s energy is just as vivid, whether performing in underground venues, festival rooftops, or live on Riley & Coe. Their VHS session for Audiotree Live captures the band’s signature mix of disheveled music, expressive poetry, and improvisational movement, showing how dance and spontaneity are central to their creative process. Through their performances and recordings, La Sécurité transform every song into a kinetic, immersive experience that blends urban grit, playful chaos, and a defiant, celebratory punk spirit.
“Initially written in French and translated to English, the song deals with dysfunctional relationships and getting rid of burdens in your life. Standing up for yourself. This doesn’t work for me; I’m out. The bass hook was stolen from Standard Emmanuel, Félix’s solo project…”
Montreal art punks La Sécurité return with “Deny,” a sharp disco-punk anthem and the final single from their upcoming sophomore album Bingo!, arriving June 12 through Mothland and Bella Union. Premiered by FLOOD Magazine, the track blends driving dance rhythms, pulsing bass lines, jagged guitars, and swirling synths into an energetic yet emotionally tense release. Originally written in French and later translated into English, the song explores toxic relationships, self-worth, and the relief that comes with finally walking away from something unhealthy.
The accompanying video, directed by Béatrice Cuierrier-Legault, highlights each member of the band through stylized character portraits inspired by their personal lives and archives. Pulling from 90s post-punk aesthetics and early internet culture, the visuals blur the line between reality and alter ego, reinforcing the song’s themes of denial, identity, and emotional escape while showcasing La Sécurité’s mix of artistic experimentation and infectious dancefloor energy.
