Modern Life Under A Hex

Guerilla Toss “Future Doesn’t Know”

“Future Doesn’t Know” has a bright and hyper sound to it that signals an energetic optimism, but the lyrics by Kassie Carlson are mostly about confronting the future with total confusion. These aren’t mutually exclusive things, of course – the sentiment here isn’t far off from Björk declaring “I don’t know the future after this weekend, and I don’t want to” in “Big Time Sensuality” – but her choice of words leans heavily on anxiety triggers. It’s an expression of indecision that vacillates from second to second between “now what???” and “NOW WHAT!!!” She may seem lost and humbled by bad experiences, but there is a joy and sense of adventure here that overrides the worst of it.
