CLASHMUSIC REVIEWS 01 · 03 · 2023 "The Lathums’ long-awaited debut, ‘How Beautiful Life Can Be’, came as a pleasant surprise to Joe Public (reflected in its chart-topping status) upon its release 18 months ago. But for those who had been paying attention, namely their not-insignificant fanbase, it was merely an official release for songs that had been in their personal lexicons for a long time. Releasing album two so (relatively) soon afterwards is a shrewd move, as it brings the fanbase and the fair-weather fans in line to witness the next step as one. And, with one exception, it is a big step. The galloping drums, disco bass and gnarly riff of ‘Say My Name’ showcase their musical evolution but merely serve to complement Scott Concepcion’s lead guitar, which is practically begging to be played atop a cliff, licks gleefully wrenched from it. It’s preceded by their latest single ‘Struggle’, luring the listener in with a simple-but-effective piano motif and a soft vocal from Alex Moore, before building to become a heart-on-sleeve anthem likely to be belted out by all and sundry from the remainder of 2023.Similarly, Moore scrapes the sky on ‘Sad Face Baby’, a slice of peak-era Kings of Leon right down to the tempo changes and cavernous ‘whoas’, while a re-recorded ‘Crying Out’ has been bolstered to better suit this new, muscular version of the group. Originally appearing as a bonus track on the debut, it’s inclusion is warranted to better suit the mood and vibe of the album, on which Moore goes into granular detail about the various stages of a relationship. “Thank you for loving me”, he sings on the jaunty, infectious ‘Lucky Bean’ against a backdrop of trumpets and snare, while things take a turn for the worse on ‘I Know Pt 1’ (“You drove a dagger straight through my heart”), all Motown tilt and sumptuous strings. In truth, the lyrical content does wear thin at points, being so self-indulgent, but the intensity of emotions at such a young age will never fail to resonate. Fortunately, on the likes of the beastly ‘Facets’, Moore compensates with his trademark impish, rapid-fire wordplay while standout track ‘Land And Sky’, which starts as a creeping lurch, erupts with some serious musical free-wheeling by his band-mates. Full of little touches and flourishes which showcase their maturity, ‘From Nothing To A Little Bit More’ emphatically proves that The Lathums are here to stay. 8/10 Words: Richard Bowes"
