In late December, the deaths of three influential musicians — Terry Hall, Maxi Jazz of Faithless, and Primal Scream and Felt keyboardist Martin Duffy — felt especially poignant and shocking. On tonight's "UKNY" at 11 p.m., I'll dedicate a good section of the hour to the legacy of these three artists on this first day of 2023.
Also, some of favorite releases of the last year (more on that via next week's show) from Little Simz, Porij, and Dry Cleaning.
That's "UKNY," Sundays 11 p.m.-midnight, on 90.7 FM, streaming online, and available in the Archives after broadcast.
