    With Johnny Marr-Esque riffs, life-affirming lyrics that have a sincerity, depth, and wisdom beyond their years, the Lathums are cementing themselves as one of the UK’s top bands.

    While The Lathums may crib from their working class heroes, they don’t solely rely on them.

    Half of the album’s 12 tracks are under three minutes, leaving no time to get bored, and there’s little to dislike.

    How Beautiful Life Can Be is not a particularly great or even good album, but there is something in its bright tone and positive messaging that feels undeniably nurturing, especially in the climate of late 2021.
