Math-rock innovators Maebe today release their new single, ‘God Wit’, taken from upcoming third album Brain Paint, released 22nd May 2026 via Ripcord Records.

‘God Wit’ is an adrenaline rush of whiplash riffs and electrifying guitar leads that channels The Armed’s freneticism and Smashing Pumpkins’ psychedelia. It captures the two extremes of the Maebe sound, which has won over audiences at shows with Intervals, Alpha Male Tea Party and Standards, as well as a packed-out stage at ArcTanGent Festival.

“God Wit is one of my favorite songs on the record – it goes straight for the jugular,” says band leader and virtuoso guitarist Mike Astley-Brown. “It started with Nic’s driving drum groove and came together incredibly quickly after that. It’s one of our first-ever co-writes – a big moment for the band.”

The song is taken from new album Brain Paint, which is now available to preorder from Ripcord Records. Brain Paint is a celebration of everything instrumental rock: frenetic math wigouts, post-rock’s cresting waves, the melodic shred of modern guitar masters. And it has hooks for days.

“I’ve been obsessed with instrumental guitar music for over half my life, but the artists that have stayed with me all have one thing in common: melody,” says Maebe leader and guitar virtuoso Mike Astley-Brown. “It’s not enough to just provide a soundscape – it’s the hooks that hit the heart and rattle round the brain. And I think we’ve nailed that with this album.”
