Atavism is the fourth album from Sheffield, UK's snd (Mark Fell, Mat Steel), their first full-length release since 2002's Tenderlove on Mille Plateaux. Atavism reveals, explores and reinterprets the fundamentals of its origins interpreted in a new time and a new context: simultaneously iteration, re-interpretation and a process of invention; both an allusion to the origins of a type and the genesis of something new. The geometric forms and rhythmic assuredness of first-wave techno combine with the linear clarity of digital minimalism to expose themes whose rhythmic and harmonic immediacy and ostensive sparsity belie the complexity of their form. In a cycle of exposition and development, materials are slowly drawn through processes of compression and expansion, inversion and reversal, atomization and consolidation, to return shaped into new orders -- a process of sonic origami. Over 16 untitled pieces, themes are developed slowly to the point of obliteration only to be re-layered and rediscovered in new surroundings.

- This is the fourth album from snd, the duo of Mark Fell and Mat Steel -- their first full-length release since 2002.
- Fell & Steel have also performed as their side-project Blir, remixed for Ryuichi Sakamoto, toured with Autechre, and done sound design work for countless installations worldwide.
- Both are directors of a Sheffield-based studio working in research, development and production of digital arts and music.
- "It's perhaps the beginning of a new genre that may have people copying SND's style, instead of the other way around. With apologizes to Matmos, this group is the best surgeon in the IDM world right now and I'm excited to see who they operate on next." --Stylus Magazine
- "SND work in this realm free of irony, honestly looking for a way to transform dance rhythms into a minimal electronic setting." --Dusted
