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.
Crystal Castles feat. Robert Smith
Not In Love
Driving synths power this reworking of the Platinum Blonde hit. Atmospheric with a nod to Smith's 1980s roots.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Heart in Your Heartbreak
The kind of uncool but joyous sounds rarely heard in cynical post-Strokes rock'n'roll.
Lord Huron
Into The Sun
A wonderfully weird track that is equal parts Fleet Foxes, Moldy Peaches and 1950s Jamaican dancehall.
Smith Westerns
Weekend
Faux-naive lyrics and ironic 1960s melodies. It may sound grating on paper but SW's charm is undeniable.
My Chemical Romance
Look Alive, Sunshine
This typically theatrical opening track from new album 'Danger Days True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' was premiered in an exclusive webcast this week.
Mr Little Jean
Rescue Song
Warm, poppy Norwegian folk. Kylie is a cited influence but Camera Obscura is the more obvious comparison.
Cerebral Ballzy
Sk8 All Day
Obnoxious anarcho-punk from Brooklyn with a debt to 1980s luminaries Black Flag and Dead Kennedys.
The Beatles
In My Life
Now they're finally available on iTunes, expect the marketing machine that launched 'The Beatles: Rock Band' to kick into overdrive. Still, as phony Beatlemania re-sweeps the land, at least we have the music – including this standout track from 'Rubber Soul'.
