La Sécurité are a Montreal-based collective formed in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdowns when the band members could not play in their primary bands. They eventually emerged with their debut album Stay Safe! in 2023, a brilliant album full of arty post-punk anthems that quickly became a KEXP favorite. A sophomore follow-up hasn't been announced yet, but La Sécurité released two singles, "Ketchup" and "Detour," back in January 2025 which continue to revel in their distinctively jittery, off-kilter, and charismatic lane.
For their exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, La Sécurité offer an insightful glimpse into some of their favorite songs both old and new. It's an eclectic, sophisticated, and kinetic journey that stitches together post-punk, industrial, art-pop, no wave, underground rock, and more.
