Instrumental-trio The Messthetics joins forces with acclaimed jazz-saxophonist James Brandon Lewis for their forthcoming self-titled album, The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis. The album is set to release on March 15th via the legendary jazz label Impulse! Records. Alongside the album’s announcement, The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis share the lead single “Emergence,” which arrives with a visualizer created by The Messthetics’ Brendan Canty.
