The New Breed

Parker shifts his focus from standard post-rock guitar work to prioritize intricate, layered compositions. He builds his songs around loops and samples, keeping the results loose and open. The process mirrors the feel of a late-night session, balancing technical precision with organic soulfulness.

As a product of the mid-2010s Chicago community, the work serves as a link between vintage jazz sensibilities and contemporary beat-making. The project rejects traditional guitar textures in favor of something more measured and rhythmic. It is a calculated study in how improvisation functions when grounded by the systematic nature of hip-hop techniques.
