UKNY for May 10

Tonight at 11, "UKNY" returns with its very first "at home" hour,  recorded in my apartment. It's good to be back, and like NBC's "Saturday Night Live," I'll get a bit more comfortable with the whole at-home angle moving forward. A heartfelt thanks to FUV's engineering wizard George Evans who came up with multiple solutions for all of the FUV DJs during these extraordinary times, and the patience to guide us through the rough spots.

There's a Kate Tempest track from 2019 which serves as the centerpiece of tonight's hour (and which has been murmuring in my head for much of the past two months). Also, new releases from Reykjavík's JFDR, the Leeds collective Fold, London-based Laura Marling, Melbourne's Husky, and Port Chalmers' Nadia Reid, whose gorgeous third album, Out of My Province, is her first for Spacebomb Records.

Mother's Day feels particularly complicated this year for all of us — but whatever you might experience today, may you find and share peace and love.

That's UKNY from 11 p.m.-midnight every Sunday on 90.7, streaming on WFUV.org and available after broadcast in the Weekend Archives.

Stay safe, radio friends.
