UKNY For April 16

Tonight's UKNY at 11 heads off on multiple tangents, with music from Meltdown Festival curator Guy Garvey, New York-bound Underworld (who played Coachella last night), and wistful Rozi Plain, currently on a UK tour.
Also, a sweet, neon-colored single from Toronto's unpredictable Weaves on the Commonwealth Cut, from the band's just-announced, self-titled debut album, due out this June.
And if you love discovering new British (and international) releases, do know that UKNY depends on listener support, so please contribute what you can during FUV's spring membership drive! It's easy peasy—just head to WFUV.org.
