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.

Sigur Ros

Fjogur Piano

The video features a naked Shia LaBeouf crying and drawing on people. Suitably arthouse for this stripped-down gust of melancholy.

Cat Power

Ruin

Power sounds a long way from her dirty rhythm-and-blues roots on this piano-led track. But beneath the layers of synths her voice retains all of its Patti Smith-esque grit.

Can

A Swan Is Born

An experimental, never-before-released track to promote the band's forthcoming three-CD box-set of studio and live recordings.

Lorelei

Hammer Meets Tongs

Lorelei return, 18 years after they released their debut LP, with this quirky little teaser track. The album it's taken from is released in August.

Kitty Pryde ft Riff Raff

Orion's Belt

So youth-oriented it would alienate a 16-year-old, this pseudo-stoned hip-pop sits somewhere between Ke$ha and Souja Boy.

Jessie Ware

Wildest Moments

Beat-driven soul from pop's latest hotly tipped female star. Artsy and confident, Ware is more Flo Welch than Jessie J.

Ice Choir

I Want You Now and Always

Kurt Feldman's latest project has a decidedly camp, 1980s-influenced sound.
