The Lathums have announced their new album Matter Does Not Define, due for release on 7th March 2025.
“We’ve had a lot of fun creating album three,” says frontman Alex Moore. “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.
In light of the announcement, the band have also released their new single Stellar Cast.
“Recording Matter Does Not Define felt like coming full circle,” Moore adds. “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.”
