UKNY For December 16

For patient admirers of the dreamy, dense tides of shoegaze, 2017 was a stunning year, featuring the long overdue studio return of three of the genre's most iconic bands: Ride, the Jesus and Mary Chain, and Slowdive. On UKNY at 11, a session with Slowdive, and a discussion with Rachel Goswell and Chritian Savill about the group's first new album in 22 years, an eponymous release that marks a new chapter in the influential quintet's story.

We'll also hear from Ride and the Reid brothers, plus new releases from Spector, Wolf Alice and Shopping too.
