Over the course of 2025, International anthem celebrates their eleventh year (under the IA11 chrysanthemum banner) by revisiting some of the most celebrated entries in a decade of releases.

These LP packages will be presented with new liner notes, new insert booklets, and a 2025 redesign of the label’s obi strip and dome logo.

Jeff Parker’s 2016 album »The New Breed« was a turning point for both Parker and International Anthem, changing the trajectory of his solo career as well as drawing an abundance of attention to our fresh imprint despite our then very limited catalog. Most importantly though, the album is the first to give voice to Parker’s wholly unique take on sample-based beat construction augmented by improvisation and live instrumentation (performed in this case by the high-level crew of Paul Bryan on bass, Josh Johnson on alto saxophone and keys, Jamire Williams and Jay Bellerose on drums, Parker's daughter Ruby on vocals, and Parker himself on guitar, synths, and other instruments).

What began as Jeff’s interest in understanding his own idea of hip-hop processes (and how they related to his work in jazz) expanded into a blueprint for much of his work since then.
