UKNY for August 16

There's an love-addled beauty that simmers throughout Rowena Wise's second album, Bad Things Feel Good*, which rolled into the world earlier this month. Wise, who is based out of Naarm/Melbourne, leans on the expectations and demands of relationships in Bad Things Feel Good*, with emotional tides of uncertainty, compromise, and abandonment. At 7 p.m. on "UKNY," a track from this Australian singer and songwriter's thorny and thoughtful followup to her 2024 debut, Senseless Acts of Beauty.
Fat Dog's explosively wild live sets parallel the London's band's riotous techno-punk-klezmer farrago when it comes to their 2024 debut, Woof — and given the singles springing from their second album, Cancel Me (I'm Tired), Joe Love and bandmates are leaning even harder into what's gonna fly in a mosh pit.
Legendary junglist and drum and bass innovator Goldie has a sparkling, hazy daze of a new single as does Isle of Wight's Coach Party with the bruising "Over."
Also, more from New York's Slow Fiction and their debut album, dollhouse, out now, as well as Ezra Collective, The Stanford Family Band, The Healing Power of Horses, and Olive Jones.
That's "UKNY," Sundays 7-8 p.m., on 90.7FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
