UKNY For October 28

Believe it or not, 2018 releases are around the bend and tonight's UKNY at 11 has early tastes of forthcoming winter albums from newcomers Dream Wife and Franz Ferdinand, back with their first album in five years. Also, just-released singles from Manchester's New Luna and London's Nabihah Iqbal, formerly known as Throwing Shade.

And we'll hear from a trio of artists and bands who are headed to New York next week: Elbow and C Duncan (at Terminal 5 on November 2) and the Clientele (at the Bell House in Brooklyn on November 5).
