“Maebe’s first album was all about seeing whether I could do this,” progressive post-rock guitarist Michael Astley-Brown tells Guitar World. “I’ve always struggled with confidence in my playing, but I wanted to focus on putting together a body of work just to see if I could do it.”
It’s a surprising revelation, given Astley-Brown’s abilities. Be it his ear for melody, knack for riffage or penchant for outright shred, the ace Fernandes offset-slinger knows his way around a fretboard. As a result, Maebe’s self-titled 2020 debut set a high standard.
