The Lathums
Wigan four-piece with a chart-topping debut behind them — jangling, plainspoken guitar pop that reads like short stories about a northern town.
The Lathums formed in Wigan in 2018, with the four members meeting through the town's college music course. Their songs pair clean, jangling guitar lines with Alex Moore's plain northern vocal delivery, and the lyrics tend towards small-scale observation rather than anthem-building, even when the arrangements swell.
Signed to Island Records, they released their debut album How Beautiful Life Can Be in 2021, which reached number one in the UK, and followed it with From Nothing to a Little Bit More in 2023. The band has drawn comparisons to earlier British guitar groups from The Smiths onward, though their arrangements lean lighter and more acoustic than most of their peers.
