The album was recorded in December 1994 at John and Stu’s in Seattle, Washington.
The Future of What was recorded in December 1994 at John and Stu’s in Seattle, Washington and released on April 24, 1995 by the independent record label Kill Rock Stars. The album cover features an illustration by Russian constructivist artist Yakov Chernikhov. The CD and digital versions of the album included 4 extra tracks which were excluded from the vinyl due to length.
In a favorable review, AllMusic’s John Bush commented: “Taking their punk heritage from the Buzzcocks, Unwound write grinding, but tuneful songs. Most tracks rumble with a wandering bass while guitar fuzz coats the works. The vocals are intense, usually screamed. One atypical touch is the closer, a hypnotic quasi-ambient organ piece”. In a mixed review, Jem Aswad of CMJ New Music Monthly praised the opening track, but criticized the album’s consistency. The album’s title inspired the name of Brooklyn synth band Future of What.
