UKNY for March 21

West London's Matilda Mann released her second EP, Because I Wanted You to Know, last fall and last week, she made her SXSW debut via the music festival's digital platform (catch up to last week's "UKNY" preview of SXSW). Mann cites Laura Marling and Big Thief's Adrianne Lenker as among her influences, and her own observant and gentle songs strike a balance between wit and wistfulness. On tonight's "UKNY" at 11 p.m., another song from Mann's impressive new EP.

Also in the mix, new releases from Super Furry Animals' frontman Gruff Rhys, who releases his next solo album, Seeking New Gods, on May 21. Fellow Welsh folk Carwyn Ellis & Rio 18 also have a breezy new album, called Mas, carried by Latin and South American grooves. Also, more from Laura Mvula's first album in five years, Pink Noise, and digging deeper into Peruvian-born, Berlin-based Sofia Kourtesis's gorgeous EP, Fresia Magdalena, which was released on Friday.

In addition, beabadoobee, Billie Marten, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Tokyo's Kumi Takahara, and Vancouver's Elissa Mielke.

All on "UKNY," Sundays from 11 p.m.-midnight, on 90.7, streaming online and found in the Weekend Archives after broadcast.
