And then “Bruno” - I was locked up with my in-laws. At the core of “Surface Pressure” is this question of, how do I keep my family safe - and who am I if I can’t? I think that’s a variation of what every parent felt then. There’s a reason “Surface Pressure” and “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” which were written in April and May of 2020, respectively, resonate in a different way.
