oday S.C.A.B. shares their new single, “Star” and a music video with a new twist on the classic Frankenstein story. Watch the video now over at FLOOD. The new album, Somebody In New York Loves You!, will be out November 21.
Sampson Dahl (video director):
“The inevitable cycle of love and loss finds us all, often simultaneously, playing the victim and the monster. Despite efforts to absolve ourselves, pain and yearning still plot their course, trotting down familiar paths, uprooting traits and responses we may have otherwise wished laid dormant. Whether passion dwindles to a gentle halt or one commits a truly egregious act, there is no medicine for a broken bond, and if there is a renaissance, the patterns still remain. By my understanding, it is only the color of those patterns we can mitigate. Though I see this as an infinite truth of companionship, I am not discouraged by the notion. Passion is the flavor of human existence, and though a fallout may color the aftertaste, we always have control over the colors. “
Sean Camargo (of S.C.A.B.):
“”They’re gonna make a big star out of me.” When I shoot above your head you can wish upon me. You never have to die. You can stay delusional with me. Together we are unstuck in time. Here nothing hurts and nothing gets better. When your heart hurts it don’t hurt forever.”

S.C.A.B. is the sound of a city cracked open and buzzing with late-night possibility. Formed in Ridgewood, Queens, the band channels the lived-in tension of New York life into something both urgent and reflective. Frontman Sean Camargo writes like someone pulling moments out of thin air: soft subway collisions, the weight of a partner’s silence, the slow grief of change. The band’s name, once just an acronym, now feels more like a symbol of regeneration, a hardened edge formed by years of personal and collective growing pains.
On their new album, Somebody In New York Loves You!, S.C.A.B. turns inward and stretches wide. The songs lean into vulnerability without retreating into abstraction, drawing inspiration from Camargo’s psychedelic-fueled realizations, intimate journal entries, and moments of raw emotional rupture. From the blissed-out confessions of “Strawberry Jam” to the anthemic ache of “Red Chair,” the record explores love in all its forms: romantic, familial, and self-directed, with a clarity that’s both wide-eyed and world-weary. “The only truth I could really feel was love,” Camargo says, “and everything I did was either trying to run away from it or get closer.”
Much of the album was written in a creative surge following a psychic reading that left Camargo feeling oddly affirmed, and fantastical. That sense of magical realism runs through the record’s DNA: a cassette player, worn book of matches and Coney Island ride card on a messy desk, dreams of lost parents returning, and sonic callbacks to early-2000s stadium rock filtered through New York’s post-punk alleys. At times, the band sounds huge, like they’re aiming to fill a field – and at others, eerily close, like a voice memo you weren’t meant to hear.
With Somebody In New York Loves You!, S.C.A.B. makes space for that contradiction: songs that are personal but big, naive but knowing, imaginative but grounded. After a long stretch of false starts, rain-soaked gigs, and artistic doubt, they emerge sounding clear-headed and ready. The result is an album that doesn’t just reflect New York; it breathes with it, holds your gaze, and says, without flinching, somebody here loves you.
