Music By Numbers: Goldblume


For Cambridge alternative-punk trio, Goldblume, the release of their debut album ‘HUSK’ has been a long time coming. Nevertheless, after a three-year journey, Jethro Steel (guitar/vocals), Tim West (bass) and Matt Kilsby (drums) are set to release a unique record that combines elements of math-rock, grunge, punk and alternative rock. Considerably a mature step forward, songs such as ‘Tomorrow’, ‘We All Know Why And Who’ and ‘Razor’ capture the bands fuzz-laden, infused style, proving to be a compelling rush. While the three-part finale, ‘Loose Fruits’, puts emphasis on the mental health narrative that weaves its way throughout ‘HUSK’.

Ahead of its imminent release this Friday on Aaahh!!! Real Records, we spoke to Goldblume guitarist and vocalist Jethro Steel as he answered the “Music By Numbers” survey.
