Lights

In the quiet of a room
When there’s nothing left to do
Will you hold me babe
Save me

People disappear from view
See the sunrise on the roof
I already hate today
It’s so lonely

Get up 
I know we just made it home
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober
Being alive is just getting old
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober

Thought I’d give away my youth
To something better used
And I need it babe
It’s just part of the day

I don’t know 
never talked much
Sometimes feelings not enough
There’s a deeper pain
It’s empty

Get up 
I know we just made it home
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober
Being alive is just getting old
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober

So get up I know we just made it home
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober
Being alive is just getting old
I’m not surprised that I’m not sober

A Place You Grew Up In

Surprise

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. (side note: Brandon, the letter "B" in S.C.A.B., does play on this record, but has since left the group to focus on solo work under the name Hayfitz). 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 Ecuador and Bolivia as teenagers, was born in Elmhurst, Queens. His lyrics are colored with nostalgic memories of 90s Bushwick, where his grandparents later 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 he's "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”).

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.

If only I had known
I'd be running through the rocks
To get a little closer
I'd be sitting on the dock
Well I want you to be home
Where we can kick it we can toss

It hits a little different now
Since you've opened up your eyes
Yeah I was slow, I should've known
That's how it goes it's dark but I
Want it to be known
I want you to be my light

Yeah I want it to be known
That I want you to be home but
Yeah I was slow, I should've known
That's how it goes
Sometimes in life you can't
Get what you like

Found the fools gold
Yeah I saw it spark
I needed light, I was in the dark
No amount of money
Would keep my eyes from it
Then I grew old
Yeah I grew apart
From my perfect sight
Saw black and white
I was a shark with no love
Or no colour in my life
No colour in my life

So every day I roam
But can never seem to hitch a ride
Guess I'm alone, all on my own
So it's whatever if I just
Want to be home
Just want you to be beside

Yeah I want it to be known
That I want you to be home but
Yeah I was slow, I should've known
That's how it goes
Sometimes in life you can't
Get what you like, no
Sometimes in life you can't
Get what you like, no
