The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis | Deface the Currency | 2026

Deface the Currency locks James Brandon Lewis’s tenor saxophone into The Messthetics’ guitar, bass and drums, turning post-punk discipline into volatile jazz rock full of hard grooves, distorted counterlines and abrupt shifts. The record moves from reflective space to free-jazz collision without losing its forward drive, sounding like a Washington, D.C. rhythm section pushing an improvising quartet toward controlled combustion.
