La Sécurité’s video for new single “Snack City” looks like a fast-paced collage of the kind of food one might pick up at a convenience store or sneak away from a buffet or leftovers from a dinner or lunch from earlier in the week. The urgency of the bass line is infectious and the spidery guitar paired with the almost anxiety-inducing synth sounds enhances the mood of the song with vocals that rapidly sketches situations in which snacks cleverly symbolize various forms of personal and economic exploitation with end lyrics en Français that mentions often being hungry and being hungry all the time. Because so much of life under late capitalism leaves one unsatisfied in a way that descends to so many areas of life. When the elite are given everything and far more and everyone else has to settle for what they can get there is a generalized anxiety that leads to revolution. This song is just a fun and playful way to put out there that bread and circuses isn’t enough anymore. Watch the video for “Snack City” on YouTube and follow La Sécurité at the links provided.
The band’s new album Bingo! is due out June 12, 2026 via Mothland (CA, US) and Bella Union (Rest of the World) on vinyl, digital download and streaming.
