La Sécurité’s video for “Anyway” and its lo fidelity imagery and lack of color correction looks like an alternative section of V/H/S/99 but instead of a more straight ahead punk band called R.A.C.K. in the “Shredding” story line it’s a band traversing a hybrid of Goth and New Wave. The retro melodies and sound is like of a band took a lot of inspiration from Missing Persons, B-52s and a sassy, irreverent, neo-death rock band. Except in this short film there are no murderous ghosts and instead we see the life of a band on the road or playing around town, in the practice space, playing video games and performing at the kinds of small clubs most bands do and making the most of it and not looking like Goth fashion victims but rather with a joyful exuberance and sense of humor that gives some context to a song that seems to be about the petty dramas many people get into when they’re operating from an inflated sense of their own tragedies and ego but not getting dragged into it all because scene or social circle drama, who can make much time for that?
