Cutting loose with fresh optimism and fizzing with new energy, The Lathums open their glammed up indie pop account for 2025 with the fizz bomb single, Heartbreaker – OUT NOW. Splitting from shackles of doubt and darkness and rising up to bask in the joys of rushing rock and roll, the pacy and punchy track is lifted from the band’s upcoming, third album, Matter Does Not Define, released on Fri 7 March 2025 via Modern Sky.
Communication remains key for frontman and lyricist, Alex Moore, as he strives, song-by-song, to express his own life-experiences, raise others up when they are low and ensure that no single second of his music goes wasted. By choosing Heartbreaker as the third song to be heard from the 13 fresh cuts lying in wait for fans on Matter Does Not Define, the band brings abandon to the fore and lays down the soundtrack to being yourself and just letting go.
“I wanted to break away from my usual style, which tends to be more introspective and fictional,” explains Moore. “Lately, people seem to have really been embracing their true selves more, with a sense of pride and confidence. So, I wanted to create a feel-good song that captures that energy, something empowering that people can sing along to and feel unstoppable. Like they’re owning who they are.”
Showing the stark contrasts in their craft, The Lathums left fans on tenterhooks as 2024 came to a close, feeling the intensity and tension of the band’s open-hearted, brooding masterpiece, Long Shadows. Cutting deep to Moore’s emotional bone, with a sense of painful introspection rarely heard on neither The Lathums’, nor any contemporary indie band’s songbook, the single arrived as a breathtakingly raw statement to follow the band’s rousing, previous single releases, No Direction and Stellar Cast.
Striving to ensure they spread the love they receive and offer hope where it’s needed most, The Lathums ended 2024 in front of an intimate, hometown crowd of just 400 fans to raise £2500 for their own Chance To See charitable fund. Selling-out instantly, as anticipated, the show at Wigan’s Feast At The Mills provided the band with the opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to their community of believers, share new songs and raise funds to open up cultural opportunities to young people when and where they are needed most.
Thousands more of The Lathums family will share in favourites from the band’s last two, No.1 albums, How Beautiful Life Can Be (2021) and From Nothing To A Little Bit More (2023) as their busy 2025 touring schedule gets underway at a SOLD OUT Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on Thu 13 March 2025.
