What So Not Has Announced He’s Taking A Break From Music
"Most of you have seen and heard about the devastation taking place in Australia. It has me thinking about what really matters in this world and this life."
What So Not — AKA Chris Emerson — has taken to Facebook to announce he’s taking a break from music.
Initially beginning life as a collaboration between Emerson and acclaimed Sydney-based musician Flume, the project eventually shifted focus to become wholly Emerson’s. Along the way, Emerson amassed a legion of adoring fans, with the act’s studio debut, Not All The Beautiful Things winning acclaim.
Now, barring a few “scattered shows” around the world and the prospect of one record “planned [to drop] shortly”, What So Not is going quiet.
“I’m taking a break,” goes the note. “Most of you have seen & heard about the devastation taking place in Australia. It has me thinking about what really matters in this world and this life. I’ve done something like 400 shows in the last three years. It’s been exhilarating and fun but I’m taking some time to reset, time with friends & family, time to craft & capture everything I’ve been thinking and feeling.
“I want to pull myself out of the routine of it all, and make sure everything I do is 110 percent. There will be a few scattered shows announced around the world (focused on being special & fun) but for the most part I’m going to be offline this year. I have one record planned shortly, but this will be it from me for a while.
“See you soonish. Emoh.”
