La Securite Drop Snack City

Leave a comment

We heard this “Snack City” single from La Securite a few weeks ago in a preview, and I’ve been waiting, circling like a hawk waiting to deliver the news to the masses. The growl of the bass on this track propels the tune forward, driving the track right into your brain! They bounce back and forth between sharp vocal spurts and this spoken delivery that feels more like a march in time with the rhythm section. But, no matter what, I can’t get that damned infectious rumble out of my brain, even when the sharpness of the chorus erupts into this angular burst of nervous energy. They’ll be dropping Bingo! in June via Mothland and Bella Union.

La Securite Announce Bingo LP

Leave a comment

About 24 hours late to the game here, but I definitely wanted to make sure that this new La Securite jam made it out with our support. This is probably the most on-brand version of post-punk for me, as it features really sharp knife cuts from the guitar lines, all of it bending and jittering around the growl of the bass; I love that heavy growl sound as it flirts with the darker side of the genre whilst the guitars adhere to the more danceable elements. And, illustrating their playfulness, just listen to the syllabic breakdowns throughout, as the song seeks to keep you off-balance and totally in awe of their craft. Their new album Bingo will be out this summer via Bella Union.

Well, the year’s fully in swing, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of music we got to listen to, though we only managed to write about a mere 25+ tracks and albums. I’ll cop to the fact that the end of the week was the highlight, hitting with a new Lone Striker single on the same day we got The Laughing Chimes album out there. Buffet Lunch continued to flex their musicianship, while the Rishis offered a brand single from their next LP. New Tunde Adebimpe and La Securite had us on the trends, but in the end, I was just glad to hear new stuff from our friends in Seasonal Falls. What will be your favorite jam of last week?

La Securite Return with Ketchup/Detour

Leave a comment

Just a few years ago, Montreal’s La Securite dropped Stay Safe, offering up this frantic bit of new wave post-punk that I absolutely adored. They just came out of nowhere yesterday and dropped these rad little tunes right in my lap, and I’m cranking them as loud as I can in my room today. That pulsing groove from “Ketchup” is enough to get me gliding across the floor, shimmying and shaking about; it’s matched with this ridiculously cool growl on the vocal side too. “Detour” locks in a different groove, pulling from the likes of Pylon and ESG to craft a dancefloor-ready angular boogie. Just turn it up already.

It seems like the year is grinding to a slow halt, as there are fewer and fewer trickles of new tracks coming our way, though I’ll admittedly hope that that’s the end of the year preparations not the musical end of times. Still, I fell in love with a lot of great songs, like a new single from the last Mope Grooves LP, which just came out on 12XU. Also, 12XU adjacent is a new single from Austin’s Quin Galavis, which I was digging too. There was a brand new single from The Gentle Spring, which hopefully got you Field Mice fans excited. Plus, RayRay has been busting his ass on getting coverage out for Levitation this week, with new posts up on Pissed Jeans and Acid Mothers Temple.

La Securite Share Detour Single

Leave a comment

You’re going to throw a stabbing post punk guitar riff at me? Then follow it up with this infectious bass groove and a bit of bob-and-weave vocal stylings? Okay, I’ll follow you anywhere at that point, just like I will with a new La Securite single. And, as much as I love the hooks in the songwriting, there are some elements towards the latter half that just put the group in their groove, locking into the fun of building noise and letting the mixture swirl around until it all sounds absolutely perfect. This is the perfect reminder of how great the group are, and perhaps why I should go revisit Stay Safe!

La Securite Share Hot Topic Video

Contrary to popular thought, the latest track from Montreal’s La Securite is not actually about your revered mall outlet. Instead, it’s a proper piece meant to score the incredible dance routine that has been edited down to feature in this film version. From the moment you’re pressing play, the dancers and the song are pulsing, claiming the space as their very own, both physical and musical. Eliane snakes around ringing guitar notes and synthetic stabs, delivering a sharp indifference to the world around the dancers and the singer. Pulsating punk elements mixed with dancefloor ready grooves make Stay Safe something to keep on your radar; it drops tomorrow via Mothland.

Felt like during the middle of the week we need to switch up our shoes and get a little midweek groove on, and what better way than the subtle hooks of Montreal’s La Securite. Where it would be easy to add the pace and really push folks onto the dancefloor, this bunch pull back, letting the rhythmic pulse guide the listener while the vocals flirt with that dreamy-disco intoxication. Lurking inside is this pseudo-chorus that feels like a riot-girl call to arms, adding in just enough grit to keep those rockist snobs on the hook. Look for Stay Safe on June 16th via Mothland.
