UKNY for September 22

It's been seven years since The xx's Jamie xx, Romy Madley-Croft, and Oliver Sim have released a new song as a unit — although they've all pitched in on each other's solo projects. On Friday, Jamie xx released his second solo album, In Waves, and for that record, the three friends have come together for a song, "Waited All Night." On tonight's "UKNY" at 11pm, that dreamy dance track, a restless duet between Romy and Oliver ... and perhaps a hint of what The xx are working on for their next album together (yes, they've been in the studio together).
Michael Kiwanuka's fourth album, Small Changes, comes out on November 15, and he's released a pair of back-to-back songs accompanying that announcement. Primal Scream are getting ready for their first album in eight years, Come Ahead, and they're bolstering that release with a flurry of 12-inch remixes, including mixes from Screamadelica collaborators Terry Farley and Wade Teo of Junior Boys Own.
Also, new releases from London-based Our Girl, Los Angeles's Peel Dream Magazine, the Isle of Eigg's Pictish Trail, and much more.
Fresh British and global releases on "UKNY," Sundays 11 p.m.-midnight, on 90.7FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
