Today, the Montreal band La Sécurité dropped the music video for “Snack City,” the latest glimpse into their upcoming sophomore album Bingo!, due June 12, 2026 via Mothland in North America and Bella Union worldwide.
Serving as the band’s second official single (and fourth overall preview), “Snack City” leans fully into their signature sound—an energetic, jam-driven post-punk track that feels both loose and tightly wound. Pulsing rhythms and sharp, wiry guitars propel the song forward, giving it a restless, danceable edge that captures the band at their most immediate and infectious.
About the track by La Sécurité:
The Montréal collective have orchestrated a fidgety punk & roller sustained by fast-paced vocals, a careening rhythm section, and copious countermelodies, courtesy of delish guitar and synthesizer accompaniments. Disclaimer: The song may trigger the munchies; being fully stocked with your favorite snacks before pressing play is highly advised.
“We wrote the song when we were hungry,” the band adds. “The segment ‘J’ai faim, j’ai faim, […],’ which translates to: ‘I’m hungry, I’m hungry, […]’ was the basis of the scat singing that remained. We had fun with food anecdotes, food-related puns, etcetera.”
Inspired by snacking and past era cookbooks, the video’s collage animation features images of the band on tour spliced with food related imagery as director Philippe Beauséjour expands: “The band wanted a music video with images taken from their cellphones, including photos and videos from their tours.
I found the challenge very fun, considering that the most interesting content was already done.
So, I created a universe inspired by scrapbooking, using what I could find in my multiple 60s and 90s cookbooks.
I still wanted to bring a touch of animation, by constructing Éliane’s face several times with food. A little inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s ‘Summer.’”
