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.

Phoenix, Love Like a Sunset

This sprawling epic is a haunting counterpoint to the poppier elements of their new album

Camera Obscura, My Maudlin Career

A perfect slice of melancholy Scottish indie pop from band's latest album of the same name

Peter Gabriel, The Book of Love

TV show Scrubs used this lovely, strings-laden cover of a Magnetic Fields song for the closing musical montage of its latest series

Madlib, Sacrifice

Swirling instrumental hip hop from the producer's 2008 tribute to J Dilla

Paulo Nutini, 10/10

Caledonian soul blue-beat from the boy blessed with a voice old before his time

St Vincent, The Stranger

Spooky, kooky and altogether great pop tones
