Not All The Beautiful Things is out now via Counter Records. Stream the album below.

Last year, What So Not closed out our fourth consecutive visit to Coachella. The rattling future bass set was absolutely incredible, and one of the best ways to end another unforgettable weekend in the desert. At the time, the Australia-born artist was touring in support of his latest and widely-praised EP Divide and Conquer. The EP includes “Montreal,” a sultry collaboration with Kimbra that we first featured in our Best of September 2016 playlist. Now, one of the world’s most revered electronic acts returns to deliver his debut album Not All The Beautiful Things.

The album is a few years in the making, with the producer stating he “didn’t want to put anything out that doesn’t cohesively match the essence of the songs.” We think Chris Emerson, the man behind What So Not, may have hit the nail on the head with his 12-track effort. Collectively, the album is an exciting debut, and a culmination of the artist’s evolving and innovative sound. The album also has a slew of high-profile features including Skrillex, Toto, Rome Fortune, SLUMBERJACK, and San Holo.

In addition to the release of the album, What So Not has also announced a world tour which will kick off in Mexico. The producer will then play a few dates in South America and Lollapalooza before returning stateside for a 19-date tour that includes Ultra Music Festival, Sasquatch, and Bonnaroo. See the full set of dates below while streaming the new album.
