Dirk Serries - Infinite And Unbound (2026)
Infinite and Unbound feels like a work built on discipline rather than seduction. Dirk Serries stretches time carefully, letting drones hover and overlap with an almost monk-like patience. The soundworld is coherent and deliberately restrained, never rushing toward climax or catharsis, and that consistency is both its strength and its limitation.
I’m drawn to the grain of the textures—the slight abrasions, the sense that these tones have weight and history rather than digital cleanliness. There’s a seriousness here that makes the album feel grounded, almost architectural, as if each layer is placed with long-term stability in mind. When small shifts occur, they matter, but only if I’m fully tuned in.
At the same time, the album keeps me at arm’s length emotionally. It holds a steady plane without quite opening a deeper emotional corridor. I admire its focus and its refusal to overstate itself, yet it rarely pulls me into a state of absorption that feels transformative. For me, this works best as a space-clearing record—something to reset attention and slow perception—solid and respectable, but intentionally cool rather than enveloping.
