THE MESSTHETICS + JAMES BRANDON LEWIS

Deface the Currency, the new second collaborative album from the Messthetics andJames Brandon Lewis, grew out of a simple intuition. The group with saxophonistLewis joining the core Messthetics lineup of Brendan Canty on drums, Joe Lally on bassand Anthony Pirog on guitar was on tour in the summer of 2025 when Canty knew itwas time to go back into the studio.This configuration of the band had debuted on record the year prior, releasing anacclaimed self-titled album via Impulse!, the legendary jazz label. But as the quartetlogged serious time on the road, the drummer felt their chemistry evolving, so he calledup engineer Don Godwin and booked a couple of days at Tonal Park in Takoma Park,Maryland, where The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis was recorded.
