There are a ton of positive points to take away from this sonic change-up for Chris McCracken. Chris has always had the ideas of an atmospheric and isolated singer/songwriter. However, his somewhat goofy use of hypnogogic pop and HexD has continually plagued his music. ?What Will We See? sees a huge shift into various shades of electronics and progressive music, in the same vein Thome York has always done with his solo material. The downtempo and trip-hop-infused ?Prodigal? gives you the first taste of what you?re in for. This builds into a post-minimal passage on ?Wander into Dust? with airy and bright piano-laced pop melodies (kind of like Sondre Lerche). From there we get a light atmospheric folk track with a hypnotic guitar loop. By the end of the album, we get a monstrous 33-minute closure that weaves in and out of various progressive electronic and pop landscapes to tie everything together. Altogether ?What Will We See? is an adventurous and atmospheric gem of a record that people should hear if they want a campy-sounding album. However, the album does suffer from losing me in the middle half, plus the 8-minute-long drone piece at the end of the closing track really doesn?t seem necessary.
