Oversteps is the tenth studio album by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on April 30th, 2010. It surprised many listeners and critics with its focus on melody and ambience and is often even thought to be a return to form for Rob and Sean.

Trivia
- The cover art's rotated text, in conjunction with the prominent black circle, may be intentionally stylized to resemble the number 10, as Oversteps is Autechre’s tenth album.
- The main FM synths used on Oversteps were FM8. [6]
- The CAT number, WARP210, was likely specifically requested by Autechre, as it was the next available number with a “10” in it.
- Sean answered in passing that a theme in Oversteps was of "memory". [7]
- An unfinished demo from the Oversteps sessions from 2009 is on Hanalgig.
