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.Godspeed You! Black Emperor
We Drift Like Worried Fire
The Montreal-based band have just announced a worldwide tour in support of their excellent new album, 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!'. This track is a highlight of that album.
Jack White
Coal Miner's Daughter
The ex-White Stripes frontman tore into this cover of Loretta Lynn's 1970 hit at one of Record Store Day's 'open recording' sessions.
MGMT
Alien Days
This new single, another Record Store Day-affiliated release, continues MGMT's exploration of complex, synth-led neo-prog. 'Time to Pretend' now feels further away than ever.
Lil Durk
Dis Ain't What U Want
Durk (pictured) has followed fellow Chicago rapper Chief Keef's lead by developing his uncompromising hip-hop without releasing an overtly commercial track. Authenticity is having a real resurgence in rap.
Guided By Voices
Flunky Minnows
As Pitchfork pointed out, this lead single from the band's brand new LP, 'English Little League', sounds like a song packed with choruses. An unbelievably catchy release.
Wild Nothing
A Dancing Shell
This first single from the band's forthcoming seven-track EP, 'Empty Estate', is a stripped-down, chilled-out affair.
