Casey Maunder – 'Paint'
Reviewed by Sam Fuller • 15 August 2025

Paint is the brand-new single from Casey Maunder, providing the perfect teaser for his third studio album. The song opens with bright, punchy open chords which gives it a modernised, polished AC/DC sound, which when combined with the more indie rock pre-chorus and chorus, carves out its own bright modern rock sound. The use of keys opens up the dynamics and depth of the music, with a cool 70s sounding organ complimenting the guitars throughout and the subtle use of piano chords in the chorus and bridge giving more shading to an already vibrant pallet. The chorus is extremely catchy and after one listen, you’re almost certainly going to be hooked! Paint provides an insight into the tone and undercoat of the new album and I’m more than looking forward to hear it in all its colours!
