UKNY For November 25

On UKNY at 11 tonight, looking ahead to the return of two legends to New York in early December — Sweden's Neneh Cherry at National Sawdust on December 2 and Orbital at Brooklyn Steel on December 4. Cherry's riveting new album, Broken Politics, teams her with Four Tet's Kieran Hebden again (and he'll be at Brooklyn Steel on February 5 and 6 for his own gigs) and Orbital's latest, Monsters Exist, is the brothers' ninth album and includes some surprising collaborations, including one with physicist and professor Brian Cox that's quite relevant given Friday's dire climate change report.
Also, tracks from two London bands — Ten Fé (pictured), set to release their sophomore album this March, and the up-and-coming Earhart, taking a raucous turn — and Switzerland-born, Berlin-based Sophie Hunger too.
