Le Kick 03:40
I had a question You gave an answer In all discretion There was no pressure But I did like it I liked your answer And when I close my eyes I like the picture I turned my head You climbed the stairs I found a corner I’ll meet you there Cause I've been thinking Yeah I’ve been thinking for a long time That you’d look real damn good With your face close to mine And if I get the chance I'll eat you up all night I had a dream Your hands were soft I lost my head Your breath was sweet There was a scream I pulled the sheets aside I feel your stare You are not there Rwaaah!

Je veux tout savoir Je veux tout savoir sur toi Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi J’ai un cadeau pour toi As-tu un cadeau pour moi? Je te le donnerais cette nuit Je l’ai caché dans les bois Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi Je veux te prendre par la main Qu'est-ce que tu fais demain? Je t’ai fait un dessin C’est nous main dans la main Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi À quoi tu penses? Ce qui te fait rêver? Je suis assise dans ton lit Tu es à moi pour la vie Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi Dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi, dis-moi

Anyway 03:45
Oh, you Such a little person With your ordeals And big girl problems She wasn't really ready anyway for you Taking up all her headspace from truth You made his heart stop There was no barter So you cry alone And it’s no bother She wasn't really ready anyway for you Taking up all her headspace from truth Didn’t ask for the getaway from this She wasn't really ready anyway for you Taking up all her headspace for this She wasn't really ready anyway for you Oh, you Such a little person With your ordeals And big girl problems You made his heart stop There was no barter So you cry alone And it’s no bother Oh, you Such a little person With your ordeals And big girl problems You made his heart stop There was no barter So you cry alone And it’s no bother

We were set for 3 to 5 But we’re still waiting on our buddy When the sun goes down he comes alive But when it's daytime he’s so sleepy Maybe he’s just stuck in front of the mirror Staring at his mug Making sure his tie matches his shirt Waiting on a lady, they sure like to flirt! He should be coming But he's not Maybe he’s sleeping Or maybe he forgot He could be waiting on a bus Oh no, oh yeah I bet he broke his glasses Doing dishes I saw him the other day And he was looking pretty skinny Somebody give the guy a pizza pie I heard that he likes anchovies Working pretty hard Making people dance to old music So when he's tired Oh, he's so tired Somebody give the little guy a break He should be coming But he's not Maybe he’s sleeping Or maybe he forgot He could be talking on the phone That’s so unlikely We're waiting for Kenny Still waiting for Kenny We're waiting Oh, we’re still waiting Always on his phone But he never answers We’re waiting Ring, ring, ring, ring Yo dude, what’s up? We were set for 3 to 5 But we’re still waiting on our buddy When the Sun goes down he comes alive But when it's daytime, he’s so sleepy

Suspens 02:17
Suspens Pas le droit de voir des gens Pour montrer mes beaux vêtements À la place, j’ai tout donné Pour danser, relaxer N’attends pas que les choses se déclenchent Pour retrouver le bon sens Fais attention à ton cœur C’est un petit moteur J’ai perdu le fil Faut que je reste tranquille J’ai juste envie de sortir Tourner en rond dans la ville Je t’étourdis, c’est facile Suspens Pas le droit de voir des gens Pour montrer mes beaux vêtements À la place, j’ai tout donné Pour danser, relaxer J’ai perdu le fil Faut que je reste tranquille J’ai juste envie de sortir Fais attention à ton cœur C’est un petit moteur

K9 05:02
I’m freaking out But you can’t see me or hear me when I shout You’re freaking out You're up all night tearing the place apart Ça ne sert a rien Je te reconnais plus, t’as beaucoup trop changé You’re freaking out You're up all night tearing the place apart Ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh Ohh-ohh-ohh

Serpent 05:26
Je n’aime pas la comédie Je vie dans la réalité Tu sais que je te l’aurais dit Si tu me l’avais demandé Je portes des lunettes De soleil dans la nuit Je les portes sous la pluie Je suis mouillée, pas au tapis Je ne suis pas le troupeau Je suis le serpent de l’orage Et quand je chante, je change de peau Quand c’est trop lourd, j’ai le dos large Si tu veux la vérité T'as juste à ouvrir tes oreilles Attends ton tour avant de parler Je crie pas plus fort que les corneilles Pense-tu vraiment que j’suis pas au courant? Voyons, c’est évident, tu me connais pourtant Je ne suis pas le troupeau Je suis le serpent de l’orage Et quand je chante, je change de peau Quand c’est trop lourd, j’ai le dos large Si tu veux la vérité T'as juste a ouvrir tes oreilles Ferme ta gueule avant de parler Je crie pas plus fort que les corneilles Pense-tu vraiment que j’suis pas au courant? Voyons, c’est évident, tu me connais pourtant Pense-tu vraiment que j’suis pas au courant? Voyons, c’est évident, tu me connais pourtant

Try Again 02:56
One goal, so many doors You’re cute, but you want me dead Underground, straight ahead Times have changed Try again Got so far, but didn’t make it Hitch a ride, don’t look back Choose wisely for a longer life You clap your hands, I duck and hide Who’s friend are you anyways? Up and back over all I watch you as you take a fall Life doesn’t wait Try again I turn my head, you take a step To trust you is a leap of faith Don’t try too hard Just pay attention Dunno what the wings are for Climb the chain Try again Looking fly, looking big Living life Try again Jumping high, love the clouds Punch a guy Try again Peakin’ out, cramp my style Find the key Try again Tracking back missing money Flowers always make me happy Secret stars are pretty trippy Always easier with friends Flip a coin Try again Lift it up, don’t let go Mind the gap, no coming back Can’t kill what’s already dead It’s not a game I’ll play it safe I fall apart It’s not a game I’ll play it safe I fall apart And try again

Hot Topic 03:53
I can feel your eyes on me You wanna ask me a question Why d’you think I came here tonight? I don't want your opinion I will take the space that I need To move around as I please What did you expect I am not your pet It's a hot topic Is there something that I can do To make this any clearer for you? I dont wanna talk I just wanna dance I don't owe you any answers You can fuck off with you banter Cut the crap, you’re not funny I don't need a drink I make my own money Count me out Count me out Count me out Won’t you? I will not sit pretty Your comments are so petty Everything I feel is alright I will not hide in a corner Who gave you the right to take up All the space we need to breathe in? I can find my way thank you very much I don’t care I'm not gonna stop Cut it out Cut it out Cut it out Will you? Watch me now Watch me now Watch me now Burn you!

Eyes shut tight, but my body won’t listen No place for rest in this sleepy rebellion And I tiptoe around, solution unfound Stuck with the fact that my ups bring me down A cloud-shaped trick and I’m its master A quick fix for a natural disaster And I tiptoe around, solution unfound Stuck with the fact that my ups bring me down Who cares? Who wins? Who cares? Who's tough? Tough loves enough To keep asleep The need to reap All that is good I’ll shine the way The daytime would Who cares? Who wins? Who cares? Who's tough? Tough loves enough To keep asleep The need to reap All that is good I’ll shine the way The daytime would Who cares? Who wins? Who cares? Who's tough? Tough loves enough To keep asleep The need to reap All that is good I’ll shine the way The daytime would Who cares? Who wins? Who cares? Who's tough? Tough loves enough To keep asleep The need to reap All that is good I’ll shine the way The daytime would

about

Immediately poignant, delivered with tone-a-plenty, while boasting a whole lot of punk moxie, Stay Safe! (June 16th, 2023 via Mothland) harnesses the inherent synergy shared by the members of La Sécurité.

On this long-player, the collective’s uncanny knack for non-stop melodious influx and inventive disco-tinged new wave arrangements is almost tangible. Percussive flare-ups inducing novel feet patterns, harmonically challenging pockets of mind-boggling prowess, nonchalant melodic particles from a different space-time continuum, as well as elusively deep-delving lyrical probes are but a few tropes made-up in a playful attempt to describe their quirky sound. And though their new imprint achieves sonic extravagance through rather typical instrumentation, the five-piece uses mainstay rock & roll equipment in flatout volatile ways.

Production-wise, we are treated with a full-length of subtle postmodern ingeniosity, where music is carefully encapsulated. First, not so gently tickling scarce ribbon microphones, then saturating vintage compressors built from actual tank-scavenged pieces, while finding its way down a dizzying electrical patchwork also known as a broadcast board, before it invades new tech to wreck beautiful havoc. The resulting 38 minutes of subversive pop is quite pleasing, even to unsuspecting eardrums, co-producers Félix Bélisle (also a member of the band) and Samuel Gemme (Corridor, Population II, etc.) striking a balance between brut sounds and wispy tweaks.

Sometimes tackling knotty themes such as mental health, lost or the autonomization of women, other times affectionately musing about friendship, video games or even tardiness, La Sécurité’s songs are all about benevolence, caring for eachother in the face of omnipresent danger, and dancing as a means to revolution.
