Oversteps (album)

Oversteps is the tenth album by electronic music duo Autechre, released on Warp Records. The album was made available for official download on bleep.com and the Japanese iTunes Store on 22 February 2010; the CD and deluxe vinyl editions were released on 23 March 2010. Critics were generally quite positive about Oversteps, with many considering it more accessible than previous albums.

Background and production

In a March 2010 interview with Clash, Autechre members Sean Booth and Rob Brown said they did not know if any other music influenced the development of Oversteps; Booth commented that "I don’t own a single record that sounds like 'Oversteps'". The dynamic between the duo in the studio was called "hilariously accommodating" in the same interview, with Booth stating "I don’t mind backing down".

Autechre streamed a twelve hour webcast in early March 2010, coinciding with the album's release, as they had with the releases of Untilted and Quaristice.
