Been home alone
You can’t save me from myself
While all the world
Is hanging from your lips
Now I’m folding under our
Direct messages
I know when I’m asleep
But I don’t feel

Alive
The perfect shadow right there by my side
Those hollow places that I keep inside
Those conversations where my tongue is tied
My chest it heaves but I don’t feel alive

Can’t hold it all
I can’t hold you like this
The water falls and all you gets a mist
Now I’m folding under our direct messages
I know when I’m asleep
But I don’t feel

Alive
The perfect shadow right there by my side
Those hollow places that I keep inside
Those conversations where my tongue is tied
My chest it heaves but I don’t feel alive

Been home alone
I can’t hold you like this
When all the world is hanging from your lips
Now a promise seems to come
When I don’t know why
I know when I’m asleep
But I don’t feel

Alive
The perfect shadow right there by my side
Those hollow places that I keep inside
Those conversations where my tongue is tied
My chest it heaves but I don’t feel alive

Alive

Don't Let Your Heart Walk Away

Hart Street

Release Date - Nov 11, 2022

Originally a working title representing the first letters of the band members’ names (Sean, Cory, Alec, Brandon), S.C.A.B. is an acronym with a shifting meaning – its phonetic double acting as a metaphor for protection and healing for a group that’s always been there for one another.

Following the release of the band’s debut album, 2019’s Beauty & Balance, COVID-19 put the brakes on the Brooklyn-based band’s burgeoning career. Not content with sitting still, the band decided to travel down to Georgia to record their sophomore, self-titled LP (S.C.A.B.), which they engineered and produced themselves. Having distance from their beloved city during this unprecedented, tragic time helped them hone a sound that is even more distinctly New York.

Frontman Sean Camargo, whose parents immigrated from South America as teenagers, was born in Elmhurst, Queens. His lyrics are colored with nostalgic memories of 90’s Bushwick, where his grandparents settled, alongside sardonic observations of the contemporary city where he landed again after stops in Maryland and Massachusetts. Each song on S.C.A.B. contains snapshots of New York moments that feel hazy with nostalgia, yet are the result of being present through transformational circumstances, no matter how seemingly small. As a self-titled effort, it solidifies the band’s mastery of balancing raucous, distorted guitars with glimmering spoken word passages and a pop-infused melodic confidence.

The angular guitar passages in lead single “Tuesday” conjure up trains skidding across deteriorated subway platforms, as Camargo declares “keep trying to let go of everyone I’ve ever loved”, reflecting a relatable disillusionment with trying to form meaningful connections, and searching aimlessly for something worthwhile. Thematically, S.C.A.B. covers an array of topics ranging from grief (“Small Talk”), as Camargo describes bonding with another band member over the loss of a parent, to infatuation with a partner you know is ultimately bad for you (“Why Do I Dream Of You”).

The newest entry to their catalog, S.C.A.B. is a result of four musicians, a tight-knit group, best friends: the kind of rare conditions that allow for such raw, emotionally-charged music. When the members of a band are this close, able to protect each other from the world outside it, they are a force to be reckoned with. As Frank Sinatra famously sang about the city, “Green beams of steel, making me feel, like I’m home again”. S.C.A.B. embodies that sentiment and evokes the intangible magic that is New York City.

Lyrics:
Suddenly, suddenly we find ourselves in spotlight
Illuminate, illuminated in the dark forest
Rabbit in the headlights
Of monstrous machines
Like submarines
But made of teeth

Really, I find it kind of funny
The systems that we live in
Are alien to me anyway

Suddenly, suddenly we find ourselves in spotlight
Rabbit in the headlights
Of monstrous machines
Like submarines
With smiling teeth

Really, I find it kind of funny
The systems that we live in
Are alien to me
