The colors of the rainbow — known by the acronym "Roygbiv" and two songs of that very name by Public Service Broadcasting (on 2013's Inform, Educate, Entertain) and Boards of Canada (found on 1999's Music Has the Right to Children) — were the leaping-off point for tonight's "UKNY" at 11 p.m. of all different hues, shades, tints and tones.

Every song this hour is splashed with color, most found in a rainbow, from deary, Peggy Gou, Wunderhorse, Cleo Sol, Lianne La Havas, Doves, Ellur, TEED (f.k.a. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs) and much more — even a dollop of Beans on Toast.

British and global releases on "UKNY," Sundays from 11p.m.-midnight, on 90.7FM, streaming online and in the Archives after broadcast.
