To See the Next Part of the Dream is the second studio album by the South Korean musician Parannoul, released independently on 23 February 2021, and later that same year through Longinus Recordings and Poclanos. Parannoul, an anonymous artist of whom little information is known, recorded the album over several years in his bedroom using very limited equipment. To See the Next Part of the Dream has been variously characterized as a shoegaze, lo-fi, emo, and indie rock record. All instruments are virtual and the volume of most songs usually reaches clipping levels. The lyrics relate to Parannoul's depression and struggles, and the record contains references to 2000s culture, especially Japanese media. Following its release, the album gained popularity on the Internet and garnered a cult following. To See the Next Part of the Dream was critically acclaimed and was considered to be one of the best albums of 2021.
