British experimental producer Dialect returns with Full Serpent, a six-track EP that feels like an intimate expedition through a world where time and technology blur into one sweeping, misty vision. Released in January 2026 via RVNG Intl., this 18-minute project builds on the narrative and sonic universe first explored in Atlas of Green (2024), following the meanderings of a fictional musician called Green as they unearth “lost signals” buried within the sediments of technology and memory.
Take a listen while you read:
Across its compact runtime, Full Serpent dissolves traditional boundaries between acoustic and synthetic sound. Treated recordings of instruments and distant vocal fragments weave through glitchy electronic textures and prismatic synth programming, deftly fusing the tactile and the otherworldly in a way that conjures a surreal sense of wonder. Songs like opener ‘Ev’ry Portal Past’ shimmer with vibrant, fluttering electronics and hazy melodies, while the title piece balloons from murmuring, curious drones into serenely airy synth forms that echo the experiments of exploratory electronic pioneers.
Even shorter pieces such as ‘Sky Receiver’ and ‘Little Fragment’ carry restless motion, their delicate motifs pushing forward amid layers of sound that feel like they have been reeled in from other worlds, rather than constructed in this one. Throughout the project, an endless cornucopia of details reveal themselves with each new listen – cut-up vocals, rhythmic buzzing, insect song, sweet flutes, detuned synths, barely perceptible fragments of past and future, and so much more appear like constellations emerging from a darkening sky.
Although largely abstract and wordless, the EP expresses a persistent drive toward new frontiers, as if each tendril hints at further mysteries just out of reach. Across its brief span, Full Serpent suggests that Dialect’s creative terrain remains rich with undiscovered corners, where memory and imagination collide to paint vivid pictures in sound, teeming with life. This is a project that rewards re-listening in unhurried solitude, restoring a childlike curiosity that the noise of modern life tends to erode.
