UKNY For October 21

Tonight's UKNY at 11 includes a premiere of an FUV Live session with the Norwich duo Let's Eat Grandma — last week the pair won Q magazine's "Best Album" honors at the Q Awards for their second release, I'm All Ears. Let's Eat Grandma's take on pop is adventurous, unconventional, and techinically ambitious, as on their buzzy single, "Hot Pink." The band's Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth, both still teenagers, also astutely examine ideas of gender politics and patriarchy. They're sharp, fun, and have a firm eye on their very promising future.
Also, new releases from Neneh Cherry, Boy Azooga, Ezra Collective, and Friendly Fires, looking ahead to their first album in seven years.
