Summer is swiftly approaching—well, at least the unofficial start of the season—and on UKNY at 11, new singles that seemed geared for more sultry months via Oxford's Glass Animals, Devon's Metronomy, and East London's Rationale, who plays Manhattan's Mercury Lounge on June 8 and Brooklyn's Knitting Factory on June 9.
In addition, we'll hear from both Cardiff's Gwenno and Ayrshire's Trashcan Sinatras, who had terrific gigs in New York earlier this week (Gwenno's first in New York) and also visited the Bronx for upcoming FUV Live sessions.
Out late and missed the show? You can catch up to UKNY on demand as of Monday in the FUV weekend archives up to two weeks after broadcast.
