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.
Delorean - Stay Close
If the sun ever actually comes out, this Spanish indie- dance band will make the perfect soundtrack for it.
Lissie - When I'm Alone
This Midwestern beauty's stunning voice combines the best elements of folk, country and blues. She is 2010's answer to Stevie Nicks.
Everything Everything - Schoolin'
The experimental Manchester quartet release this joyous track, packed with catchy beats, early next month.
Nas & Damian Marley - Patience
We weren't so sure on first listen, but we're happy to report the first song from the pair's forthcoming collaborative LP, 'Distant Relatives', is a definite grower.
Vampire Weekend - Everywhere
What could be more appropriate as a soundtrack to the country's return to the politics of the 1980s than a Fleetwood Mac cover by VW (below).
Cam'ron - It's Your Party
In honour of our similarly named new PM, we're listening to this ominous sounding cut from the New York rapper's new mixtape.
Band of Horses - Factory
'Infinite Arms' is the third LP from the alt-rockers (below); this lovely effort displays them at their most stately.
Fool's Gold - Ha Dvash
The LA collective's debut LP has been out for several months, but it's worth returning to for songs like this sublime, swooning Afro-pop concoction sung in Hebrew.
