Ativin formed in Bloomington, Indiana in the winter of 1994 after Chris Carothers (guitar) and Rory Leitch (drums) met at Indiana University. Guitarist Dan Burton joined the group the following spring, cementing the band's loud, instrumental rock sound. Steve Albini and Carl Saff recorded the band's debut EP, Pills Vs. Planes, which was released in December 1996. The spring of 1997 saw the release of the Modern Gang Reader/Larkin single, the first of several releases for Secretly Canadian Records. The band worked with Andy Bryant shortly after at King Size on the German Water LP (its debut album for Secretly Canadian), with a release in March 1997. A return to Albini's studio, yielded the four-song EP, Summing the Approach. This was released in the fall of 1998. Interiors followed after a wait of three years in early 2002 (which was recorded by Dan Burton). Ativin released Night Mute in early 2004 with Greg Norman engineering at Albini's Electrical Audio. ::written by Jonanthan Cohen::
