The Lathums album review: a rising band with undeniable talent The Lathums album review: a rising band with undeniable talent

Moore got the chance to do a cover of How Beautiful Life Can Be with them on stage, with Alex on acoustic guitar and Brandon Flowers on co-lead vocals. And last but not least, if we had to pick a favourite from the new album it would be the closing track, Undeserving. Alex Moore: “I felt that this was a powerful song to start with—it sets off the narrative for the rest of the album.From the very start of this record, the band momentously pushes their sound – and what a sound it is. Rather a selling point which came through the music also: direct, honest and incredibly easy on the ear. It’s a fiery track too while ‘Turmoil’ has piano vibes and soft vocals, boasting stunning melodies throughout. The humanity of us and the humanity of music, just figuring all this crazy stuff out as human beings,” frontman Alex Moore tells Apple Music. The rock band, formed in Wigan in Greater Manchester and signed to Island Records, were neck and neck with slowthai all through the chart week.

The Lathums have shared a lyric video for its new single, “Lucky Bean,” alongside the release of its hotly-anticipated second album.The lengthy Undeserving swills any aforementioned ingredients into a binary structure, rarely taking any scenic routes to burgeon as The Lathums’ take on Dylan’s Desolation Row; a folky titan for those disenfranchised by adulthood. The band will go even further back than that, to the Motown-y doo-wop that blossoms on the Please Mr. Never more content than when on the road, The Lathums recently completed a short run of intimate dates across the UK and head out almost immediately with Kasabian, supporting them on their upcoming arena dates, opening at Manchester’s AO Arena tomorrow (Fri October 28 2022). Just over eight minutes long, it is a reflective masterpiece which allows Alex Moore to think out loud and spill his own thoughts on a personal tumultuous journey, both the ups and downs. They’re currently on the road for a full run of UK dates, which began at Liverpool’s Mountford Hall on March 6.

And I guess that’s the point: most of these tracks don’t stand out when taken out the context of the record.But we got in the studio with John Kettle [producer], and the arrangement we created transcended what I envisioned in my head when I first wrote it. Beneath the surface of its jangling skiffle-pop are moments of pain transformed into festival-ready peaks. There’s plenty of little guitar parts and overlapping intricacies that form melodies when listened to together. Described as a “deeply personal” one for Alex Moore, the song tackles the subject of grief and regret.

The Lathums Announce Second Album From Nothing To A Little

But it came to life on record and was the perfect lead single for the new album, as with Say My Name it appears to be a transition song from the raw debut to the coming-of-age follow-up. With the outright dedication and power of the community that we have amassed, we have managed to clinch a consecutive No. Of all the indie bands to rise through the flames of lockdown, it was the heart-warming tunes of The Lathums (pronounced: The Lay-thums) which struck a chord like no other. It’s one of those songs where you have to be in bed on your own, just in your own world, trying to figure things out with your headphones on. But instead of being bogged down by self-pity, we’re offered a fun, euphoric track with charm running through its veins.I started writing it when I was a lot younger, and I couldn’t finish it because I wasn’t old enough to understand it at that point—but the end of it came out of me later down the line. Inspired by loss, Moore is open hearted and vulnerable ( “Oh I struggle remembering your face / I wake up without a smile on my face / I notice the world’s turning but I’m stood still”) as he reflects on his loss of innocence.
