Former Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns has returned with his second solo album, and he's brought frequent collaborator What So Not along for the ride.
According to the Australian electronic music producer, their new single "Stand 'Em Up," which appears on Johns' FutureNever album, actually marks the first of multiple new tracks soon to come from the duo. What So Not teased the arrival of the single earlier this week while noting that their forthcoming collaborative project will mark his first creative venture outside the scope of dance music.
"I’ve started a new project," What So Not wrote on Instagram. "For the first time in my career, I’m releasing something that is NOT dance music. It’s with a dear friend of mine, Daniel Johns, and you’ll hear the first of it this week."
The two Australian creatives have demonstrated artistic synergy with past releases "Be OK Again" and "If You Only Knew" alongside San Holo. With FutureNever, Johns admits he set out to achieve something completely different compared to what fans might otherwise expect.
