On 'Deface The Currency', the quartet of The Messthetics and saxophonist James Brandon Lewis continues to merge their distinct backgrounds into a cohesive and powerful sound. The album builds on the foundation of their previous collaboration, blending the post-hardcore rhythmic drive of bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty with the intricate, genre-defying interplay between guitarist Anthony Pirog and Lewis's commanding saxophone. The result is a dense set of instrumental compositions that move between complex, catchy melodies and free-flowing, intense improvisation, further solidifying the group's unique space between jazz, punk, and experimental rock.
