With their first new music in 12 months, Wigan's finest The Lathums have made their very welcomed return with new single Vice Versa. Pondering vulnerability and seeking self-assurance, the track questions the feelings of not fully belonging in the world as Alex Moore's empowered vocals light up a backdrop of melodic guitar notes and dazzling instrumentation. “‘Vice Versa’ was written from a feeling of not fully belonging in the world we’ve built around ourselves,” explains Moore. “It came from that experience of having everything you need to survive, yet still feeling hungry for meaning, connection, and peace. The song sits between connection and alienation, between needing people deeply and fearing what we carry inside ourselves. Writing it with Ian down in Brighton pushed me into a much more vulnerable place creatively, and what started as a songwriting session very quickly became more like a therapy session. We spoke a lot about identity, dependence, fear and navigating life, and it ended up being probably the most open, honest and raw writing experience I’ve had in my career so far.” Take a listen below with the James Slater directed video.
