UKNY For September 9

The Surrey band Softer Still, a longtime UKNY favorite, conjure a kind of lush, tender dream pop that feels concurrently buoyant and wistful. They've already released a couple of gorgeous EPs, like 2017's Visions of You, and this November comes their much anticipated (at least by me) debut album, called Nuances.
On UKNY at 11 tonight, something from Softer Still, plus new releases via Lyla Foy, Beachtape, Neneh Cherry, Radiohead's Thom Yorke, the resurrected Pram and more.
