A recent single from Los Angeles-based artist Sean Massaro, “Surface” touts an engaging, emotive alt-rock appeal with ample momentum. The “I keep the light on,” vocal drive glides into steadily escalating charm, with the “am I awake…” refrain concluding the production with satiating appeal. “Am I awake or only dreaming?” they continue into more expressive guitar pulses, furthering the nocturnal, reality-questioning lyrical fervency. A sturdy rock sound, with touches of throwback emo, compels on the catching “Surface.”
