‘Try Again’ by La Sécurité | New art punk collective La Sécurité present a much-anticipated second single
Exclusive video premiere of ‘Try Again’ by new Montréal outfit La Sécurité, out May 31st via Mothland.
Cute, yet deadly mushrooms, weird multidimensional plumbing pipes and multicolored flying turtles are just some of the elements that inspired La Sécurité’s cryptic post-punk groover: ‘Try Again’. While cowbells and woodblocks dance in and out of its unique angular beat, repetitive riffs and catchy synthesizer lines ensure that listeners are hypnotized, ultimately taken into an easter egg-ridden 2D metaphysical labyrinth where psychedelic musical bliss awaits.
La Sécurité is an upbeat art punk outfit featuring members of visionary acts such as Choses Sauvages, Laurence-Anne, Jesuslesfilles, Silver Dapple, DATES and Pressure Pin. Their music is equal parts: jumpy beats, efficient minimal hooks and scratchy melodic spouts; run through a ubiquitous insomniac filter, the result of excessive exposure to La Grande Métropole’s neon lights.
After years of writing catchy tunes for the pleasure of beautiful weirdos, all the while strutting their style on tour with their many different projects, the members from La Sécurité are now summoning the ghosts of late 70s era New York City, a time when the likes of E.S.G., Bush Tetras and Suicide would destroy standardized musical formulas in underground venues. Though their songs are meant to be blasted onto dancefloors, their lyrics are somewhat like comfy furniture basking into a metaphorically-lit backroom, where words can go chill for a few minutes, perhaps press start and play a level or two.
On their first ever recording, the arty punkers drop absolute science, the pair of post-modern sonic gems being à la fois technically boss and loose like a goose. With ‘Suspens’ and now ‘Try Again’, La Sécurité now paint a sonic graffiti of their own, evoking a polymorphic reality, through themes such as restlessness or awesome clothes. Recorded and mixed alongside Samuel Gemme at Gamma Recording Studio (Corridor, Anemone, Population II), this introductory effort from these Montrealers is sure to please fans of Devo, E.S.G., Gang of Four and Le Tigre.
