UKNY for June 20

Spring segues to summer during tonight's "UKNY" at 11, but all isn't just stark sunshine (or moonlight): London's The Surfing Magazines, Devon's Soot Sprite, and Brighton's Peggy Sue have some alternate views on the incoming season too.

Sydney-born, Brighton-based Penelope Trappes has released a kaleidoscopic, dreamy and atmospheric third album, Penelope Three, the endpiece in her trilogy. One lovely track is inspired by the Orkney myth of the Selkie, or seal folk  — and we'll hear that mist-cloaked song tonight.

Also, new releases from Birmingham-born Laura Mvula, who exults in her love of Eighties-era production, and more from Brighton — The Go! Team — who reached out to a youthful Detroit choir for their latest release. Longtime south London resident and steel pan master Fimber Bravo reflects on his Trinidadian family and homecomings.

There's a batch of international treats too, from Amsterstam's Pip Blom, Copenhagen's Efterklang, and a Far Rockaways band with Irish ties, The Forms.

Since the longest day of the year is upon us too, a look back to last year's stirring compilation, The Longest Day, a benefit album for the Alzheimer's Association.

That's "UKNY," Sundays from 11pm-midnight, on 90.7, streaming online and available in the Weekend Archives after broadcast.
