Defiance, vulnerability, pride and the excuse to let loose are all promised by The Lathums as they release their latest single, Stellar Cast, with news of a new album and touring plans for 2025. With two, consecutive No.1 Official UK Album Chart albums already to the band’s name and seeing out another year of huge outdoor shows, the arrival of a new album, Matter Does Not Define sees the opening credits roll on the four-piece’s third, thrilling season. Matter Does Not Define was written by the band, comprised of Moore, Scott Concepcion (guitars, piano and vocals) Ryan Durrans (drums) and Matty Murphy (bass and vocals), in their native Wigan before recording at Kempston Street Studios, Liverpool in the company of long-term creative guide, John Kettle and producer, Chris Taylor. Proving prolific with a 12-song track listing, Matter Does Not Define not only follows the band’s chart-topping second album, but their classic indie debut, 2021’s How Beautiful Life Can Be.
