Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Daft Punk may be the most successful act since Kiss to make an impact while disguising their identities, but they are not alone. A psychedelic outfit claiming to hail from the backwoods of Sweden have been causing a stir while hiding behind ritualistic masks, and telling an unlikely backstory.
Goat claim to hail from the village of Korpilombolo, a remote, tiny community not far from the Finnish border. In the rare interviews they agree to, the shadowy collective (who performed at Glastonbury) claim their thrillingly primal freakbeat is inspired by the village's history of voodoo.
Their album, World Music, found its way on to end-of-year polls, while music-blog excitement followed the release of a double A-sided single, with “Dreambuilding” showing a funkier side to the band.
Goat's single “Stonegoat”/“Dreambuilding” is out now on Rocket Recordings
