More often than not they are little more than a hastily thrown-together collection of club tracks, lacking the cohesion or narrative themes that mark a truly timeless body of work. Hollis Parker's debut is one of the few of recent memory that bucks this trend, applying a hip-hop production aesthetic to an album with house music at its core, creating an immersive listening experience over the course of 10 deeply emotive tracks. \n\nThe Last Raw Era is themed around two distinct love stories: that evolving relationship between two fictional characters, and the entirely real emotion Hollis wears on his sleeve about New York, calling it the foundation upon which I'm built. A hazy melancholy informs much of the album's tone, with obscure samples dusted off and given a new lease of life in songs that evoke the languid production of Moomin as much as the raw house cuts of the early US masters. \n\nCrafted in the old-school style, Hollis took a turntable, a couple of samplers and a stack of vinyl records and got to work, creating a musical tapestry from instrumental samples, snatches of movie dialogue and heartfelt vocals. The result is both familiar and absolutely unique, with Hollis looking to the past to produce something refreshingly free of clichéd house tropes. \n\nThis album is basically a culmination of everything I've done musically up until now says Hollis from the techniques and musicianship I learned to the equipment I figured out how to use, the different genres I've created: it all comes together on this album. It's a love story that's also about a city, specifically a city that I got to know before the internet and social media, back in the 90s, or what I like to call the last raw era.\n\nFrom the simultaneously heart-breaking and uplifting 4\/4 bounce of What You've Done to the dreamlike drifting of Central Park Love, The Last Raw Era contains individual tracks that are without question some of the most beautiful of the year. But this is an album that needs to be listened to in its entirety to be fully appreciated: a timeless gem with the power to take you to another place.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hfobBckF2ME\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_q461cqRCQI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U8n029Xq-xI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode and Other Identifiers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/?version=3\u0026amp;loop=1\u0026amp;playlist=hfobBckF2ME,_q461cqRCQI,U8n029Xq-xI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/item\/2652399714\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eData provided by Discogs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/constacloud.com\/disconnect\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct listed via Disconnect\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Etherwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214789439728,"sku":"2652399714","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/1829\/files\/9290172-0860717664a4e39f70ef864a4e39f70efa168852777564a4e39f70efe_cf319ac8-ee9b-418a-a3ca-6b5ece62b948.jpg?v=1759074914","url":"https:\/\/www.mushimushirecords.co.uk\/products\/hollis-parker-the-last-raw-era-ssmlp001-2xlp-album-gat-mint-m-1","provider":"Mushimushi Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
