After charting America’s #1 Dance Album with his debut Not All the Beautiful Things in 2018, Chris Emerson—aka What So Not—stepped back from the spotlight to reconnect with the dancefloor, nature, and the roots of his artistry. Living in coastal towns and surfing treacherous waves, he turned these experiences into sound, ultimately creating Anomaly, a bold and personal album reflecting newfound clarity and creative freedom.
Blending cinematic builds, heavy basslines, and ethereal vocals, Anomaly featured collaborations with Oliver Tree, Killer Mike, Louis the Child, and MØ. Alongside the album, Emerson debuted a stunning immersive live show, complete with 3D animation exploring themes of purpose and existence.
