Matter Does Not Define is the upcoming third studio album by English rock band the Lathums, set for release on 7 March 2025 through Modern Sky UK.
The album's lead single "No Direction" was released on 15 July 2024, with the album being announced on 28 October 2024. The second single "Stellar Cast" was followed by the release of third single "Long Shadows" on 6 December 2024.
The band's lead singer Alex Moore spoke of the album, saying “We’ve had a lot of fun creating album three. Though only a couple of years have passed since our last album, it feels like we’ve matured immensely as musicians." He described a lyric from "Reflections of Lessons Left" as “powerful and important to the times we live in”. The lyric was the first one written for the album and Moore noted it as “the catalyst for the whole album, setting its tone and message.”
"When will they learn that it’s not matter that defines a being? It’s the reflections of the lessons they leave."
