Head to https://www.thelathums.com/ for more information. Alex: “Personally, I feel like we’ve already outdone ourselves massively. With our first album it wasn’t the goal to get Number One, but it was an affirmation of our first real step into music. We wanted to see if the people agreed, and it turns out they agreed very, very strongly. With album two, I’m happy that we’ve brought our music to so many different places and people. I’m not saying I don’t want a Number One, I’ll take it! I’d be very happy with that. But the feeling I get from people is way more important than any accolades. The life that we’re living, being on tour and stuff like that, meeting people: that’s the real stuff that gets you going, not a trophy.” Matty, how pleased are you to now be an official member of The Lathums?

Ryan: “It’s not up to us though, really. It’s up to the festivals and the fans: if we don’t have enough fans, no-one will book us.” Alex Moore: “What’s the point in putting so much into something that you’re not genuinely passionate about? I think it’s quite refreshing that people can see that there’s genuine feelings behind these songs, not like a lot of music that’s out nowadays that’s got no emotion or substance behind it. You can tell those people are singing about what they think people want [to hear]. But I don’t give you what you want: I give you what you need.” Are you confident that your fans will connect with the emotional depth of your new material? There’s a lot more people [listening] now, which is very good for us. The reaction has more than doubled,” frontman Alex Moore tells NME over Zoom. “We’re just waiting for the album to come out now, so we can take the next step. We’re excited to be able to play it [live]. This has been our only traditional release: we started when the world was crazy, really.” Drummer Ryan Durrans chips in: “When the world was crazier.”Wolves, Warrington (6 February 2023).

Now, as we approach the release of their second album, The Lathums show no signs of second album syndrome as they progress and mature from the 2021 record with a new lineup following Johnny Cunliffe’s departure. Matty Murphy joins on bass for the new era. Alex: “I mean, we’re going to take over the world together – so we have to be as tight-knit as we possibly can. Over the past couple of months, we’ve definitely become way more closer and open about things. I think we look after each quite well, especially considering that we’re still quite young.” Alex, you recently described yourself as a “sad and strange” person and songwriter. Why is that?

Lyrically emotive, running river deep for front man, Alex Moore, yet audaciously stitched with stadium-sized guitars and brooding rhythms, the statement single found its voice with Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys, Bombay Bicycle Club) in the album producer’s chair. AM: “There’s a bit of love in this one. There’s a lot of love, really. I wanted to take myself out of my own shoes and see things from somebody else’s perspective. In this scenario, it’s the perspective of a woman, which is hard for a man to do. I’m not saying I’ve learned how to do that but I wanted to give it a go and not think just about me. I think I learned more about myself—ways that I’m selfish but hadn’t really realized, and certain things like that. I think it was owning up to things, things that you could change to better yourself.” The Lathums Sign Massive Deal With Island Records". Only A Northern One. 11 March 2020 .

As Moore, Scott Concepcion (guitars/piano), and Ryan Durrans (drums) stride into their emboldened early twenties together, artistic support and kinship has come from some unlikely, ‘pinch me’ quarters, including The Killers, with whom Moore sang onstage at shows in Vienna and Amsterdam, plus Tim Burgess, Paul Weller, Arctic Monkeys, and Louis Tomlinson.

Alex: “The smell, the looks, the sex appeal, the ingenuity. Mate, he’s got it all. And he plays the bass really well!”NME caught up with The Lathums to discuss the open-hearted vulnerability of their new record, preparations for their biggest headline show to date and the advice they received from The Killers’ Brandon Flowers.

Being thought-provoking within your music is hard these days, and being original is even more complex, but this act knows how to shape and craft organic music that doesn’t cater to repetitiveness. They also know how to balance sound and lyricism well. In January 2023 they released the single "Struggle." On February 16th, they performed in Warrington ahead of the opening round of the Betfred Super League, Warrington Wolves vs Leeds Rhinos. [10]Alex: “Not the longest song I’ve written, but, yes, the longest one we’ve recorded. Eight minutes is a good chunk of time! I had the main idea and narrative of it. I find this a lot with [writing] songs: there’s too many avenues [to go down] and ideas to fit into one song, [so] it can get completely muddled. But it was nice to just keep going and going, but it was mostly improvised — that’s probably why it ended up being so long. The words are improvised, so you have to fit the length with the words. But if the story’s not finished, it’ll be incomplete.” Do you think you’ll ever play it live? Taysom, Joe (3 March 2023). "The Lathums - 'From Nothing To A Little Bit More' ". Far Out .
