Nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2017, London's The Big Moon will follow that critically-praised release, Love in the Fourth Dimension, with their second album, Walking Like We Do, released on January 10. On UKNY tonight at 11, a track from that forthcoming album.

The Big Moon will be touring the UK with Bombay Bicycle Club and Liz Lawrence this winter — and we'll hear from those good friends and tourmates too (Bombay Bicycle Club, which includes Liz on backing vocals, were just here in NYC at Brooklyn Steel this past Monday and Tuesday — and they also did an FUV Live session which airs later this fall).

There's also a bounty of new releases to get to from FKA Twigs, Field Music, Dry Cleaning, Floating Points, Toronto's Charlotte Day Wilson and fellow Canadian Caribou, who returns with his first single in five years.

And we'll hear from East London's Lemzi who just performed last night at the New York Coffee Festival at the Metropolitan Pavilion, as part of that festival's Coffee Music Project. Lemzi, who had been on a law and criminology trajectory before dedicating himself to music, was the runner-up for London's 2019 Coffee Music Project.

That's UKNY from 11 p.m.-midnight on Sundays, also available on demand in the Weekend Archives if it's just too hard to stay up late!
