UKNY For July 8

We are halfway through the year and tonight's UKNY at 11 has selections from three albums that are among the best of 2017 thus far: Slowdive's eponymous return, Sacred Paws' Strike a Match (winner of the Scottish Album of the Year award in June), and This is the Kit's fourth album, Moonshine Freeze, released yesterday.

Also, new music from Lucy Rose (pictured), the Welsh band Omaloma, and another breezy summertime single from Childhood's forthcoming second album, Universal High, released July 21.
