Unwound

The Future of What

Their third album in as many years, 1995’s The Future of What is an unrelenting, constructivist masterstroke. The Olympia trio’s signature sound— grinding bass, syncopated drums, and fragmented guitar over measured yelps— ratchets past the thread into a stripped out metallic slurry. Equal parts noise and adrenaline, the album opens with a simple question: “Where’s your energy?” It’s been 25 years and we’re still searching for the answer.
