The Montreal band closes the rollout for their second album with a track translated from French and built on a borrowed bassline. The accompanying video stages denial in distinct visual tableaux.
“Deny” is out now, the last single before La Sécurité’s second album Bingo! lands. It follows a string of previews that began with the title track and moved through “Snack City,” “Detour,” and “Ketchup,” sharpening the band’s mix of taut rhythms and disco mechanics along the way.
The song itself started in French, then was translated into English. The band explain it addresses dysfunctional relationships and the decision to walk away. There is no ambiguity in the line they draw: “This doesn’t work for me; I’m out.” The bass hook was lifted from Standard Emmanuel, a solo project of their own Félix, so the borrowing circles back inward.
Director Béatrice Cuierrier-Legault built the video around the idea of denial, creating separate aesthetic tableaus for each character. The result is a series of distinct visual frames that mirror the song’s emotional cutoff, no grand narrative, just contained worlds where something is being refused.
La Sécurité’s economy as a band has always been a strength. On “Deny,” that economy extends to the video and to the song’s origin: a translation, a reclaimed bassline, a clean break. Bingo! now has a complete runway.
