The Lathums have released their latest single, coming from their upcoming album Matter Does Not Define.
The album is set to release in March 2025, and follows a string of high-charting albums as recent as last year.
The Wigan band aren’t letting up anytime soon, taking inspiration from Arctic Monkeys and The Smiths on Long Shadows.
Moore explains the track: “Long Shadows is a song about deep emotional struggle and the complexities of love. I'm expressing feelings of despair, isolation, and fear of change after losing love, evoking a sense of tragic suffering. Despite the darkness, we recognise love’s enduring presence, though it casts long shadows over our life.”
