The Lathums announce third album and spring 2025 UK & Ireland tour
They play 12 concerts next March and April
Last updated 30th Oct 2024
Wigan indie rockers The Lathums have announced details of their third studio album ‘Matter Does Not Define’ and a major headline tour for spring 2025.
Released on Friday 7th March 2025, ‘Matter Does Not Define’ boasts 12 songs including lead single ‘No Direction’ and Absolute Radio’s current track of the week ‘Stellar Cast.’
The Lathums’ first record since 2022’s chart-topping ‘From Nothing To A Little Bit’ is released on a variety of formats including standard and special edition vinyl, CD, cassette and digital.
Enthusing about the new album, The Lathums’ frontman Alex Moore says: “We’ve had a lot of fun creating album three. Though only a couple of years have passed since our last album, it feels like we've matured immensely as musicians.
“One of my favourite lyrics on the album is from track three, ‘Reflections of Lessons Left’. ‘When will they learn that it’s not matter that defines a being? It’s the reflections of the lessons they leave’ was actually the first lyric I wrote for this album, long before we even started planning it properly.
“It felt powerful and important to the times we live in, and I wanted it to resonate with others. That lyric became the catalyst for the whole album, setting its tone and message.”
He continues: “Recording ‘Matter Does Not Define’ felt like coming full circle. We worked on it with our good friend and old college tutor, John Kettle, which brought us back to our roots.
“The process felt organic, without the pressure to cater to industry demands, and it allowed us to really explore creatively. It was like being back in college, free to make music without constraints. Like, (drummer) Duz even plays a frying pan in 'Stellar Cast’, a random touch you might not expect. Album three is real, raw, and everything we hoped it would be.”
