Wigan based quartet THE LATHUMS have revealed their plans for 2025, including the release of their third studio album.

The new record titled ‘Matter Does Not Define‘ is set for release 7th March 2025. Pre-order HERE.

In a press release, frontman Alex Moore said:

 “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.
 
“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.”

The band’s brand new single ‘Stellar Cast‘ is available across digital streaming platforms HERE.
