Atavism is the fourth album from SND. It reveals, explores and reinterprets the fundamentals of its origins interpreted in a new context. The geometric forms and rhythmic assuredness of first-wave techno combined with the linear clarity of digital minimalism to expose themes whose rhythmic and harmonic immediacy 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. Raster Noton has been following the creativity of the boys behind SND for years and are proud to continue their collaboration by publishing a full SND album.
