Riding high on the release of their third studio album, Matter Does Not Define, Wigan's wunderkinds The Lathums returned ahead of the weekend with their brand new single, Cobblestones. As they gear up for their debut tour dates in Australia and Japan later this year, the track arrives at a crucial point in their meteoric rise - another guitar-fueled gem that reinforces their place in the spotlight. Singer and songwriter, Alex Moore, says: “’Cobblestones’ started when I was in my teens and started paying close attention to the world around me:the streets, the buildings, the way history leaves its mark. Where I’m from, cobblestones seem to be everywhere, and they started to feel like a symbol for the stories and truths buried under modern life. The song is about what gets covered up, not just by concrete or tarmac, but by politics, ego, and time. It's about how we build over the past and try to move on, but the past is still there, just beneath the surface.” Take a listen below.
