UKNY for May 19

Miki Berenyi, a founding member of Lush, has dipped in and out of music since the breakup of that band in 1998, a journey she writes about in her riveting and sometimes heartbreaking 2022 memoir Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success. I picked up a copy of that memoir in London back in October but happily, as of April, it's finally available in the States. In addition to her band Piroshka, Miki now leads her own group, the Miki Berenyi Trio which will be playing Webster Hall on June 8. They've just released their debut single, "Vertigo," which I played on "UKNY" last week and liked so much, I'll get to again tonight at 11 p.m.

Scottish-born, London-based Kaeto has released a new single — and will have a prime opening slot with The Last Dinner Party's sold-out UK tour this fall. The Manchester-Yorkshire quintet splint was to perform at the Great Escape Festival in Brighton this weekend — they've just released their latest single on the Nice Swan label.

Denmark's Efterklang will release their new album, Things We Have In Common, in September and have released another song from it, featuring cellist Mabe Fratti.

Anna Prior, who plays drums in Metronomy, has a dance EP on the horizon, Almost Love, out in June, and Metronomy's Joseph Mount is releasing a collaborative EP too. Rachel Chinouriri's debut album, What a Devastating Turn of Events, is out in the world at last — and it's tender, tough, and smart.

Finally, after the treat of seeing Eiko Ishibashi perform music from Ryusuki Hamaguchi's "Drive My Car" at Le Poisson Rouge a couple of weeks back, something from Ishibashi's new score for Hamaguchi's "Evil Does Not Exist."

British and global releases on "UKNY," Sundays 11pm-midnight, on 90.7FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
