Description

Red vinyl LP

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
four-piece The Lathums’ third, thrilling season.
‘Matter Does Not Define’ was written by the band, comprised of singer /
songwriter and guitarist Alex 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’.
Opening at Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow, The Lathums’ 13-date ‘Matter
Does Not Define’ UK / Ireland tour includes a raucous homecoming night at
Manchester’s O2 Apollo, a return to London to take on the 5,000-capacity O2
Academy Brixton and a leap across the sea to conclude at The Academy,
Dublin.
Concurrent to their musical adventures, The Lathums continue to raise funds
and awareness of their own Chance To See Fund, a charitable venture to
bring creative opportunity to young people in and around Wigan. Donations
from fans, the band and through special projects arranged with participatory
arts charity, Curious Minds, saw the total available to local individuals,
groups and projects hit £25,000 earlier this year. The band and Curious
Minds joined together with the shared aim of bringing music, theatre and
other artistic projects into the lives of people with no other way of accessing
them.
