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.Bashy feat H-Boogie Your Wish Is My Command
Hip-hop layered with a generous splash of electropop and vocals courtesy of Estelle's lil' sis might just be a chart winner for the charming MC.
Friendly Fires Kiss of Life
Addictive, exuberant disco-pop single coming up from the Mercury nominees.
The xx Crystalised
Sultry male/female soul vocals and minimalist, off-kilter riffs: atmospheric, dark, moody and brilliant.
Joe Pernice Tell Me When It's Over
Alt.country's most soulful crooner breezes through The Dream Syndicate's cult psych-rock classic.
Volcano Choir Island, IS
Justin Vernon's (aka Bon Iver) side project. Music blog Stereogum is offering a preview MP3 of this lovely electrofolk track to whet the appetite.
Noah and the Whale The First Days of Spring
Delicate atmospheric Sigur Ros-esque strings build up to soaring emotion – far superior to their debut effort.
