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.
Jamie Woon
Blue Truth
The hotly tipped Brit School graduate mixes dubstep with backwards tape loops that are reminiscent of "Revolver"-era Beatles.
Daughter
Run
Beautifully sung, literary folk-pop with a similar ethereal melancholy to Laura Marling. A definite one to watch.
Jaded Hipster Choir
Cait Sith
Innovative synth- and beats-driven music that manages a nod to Wagner without sounding silly.
Amor Jones
Right Now
Feel-good, melodic hip-hop with lyrics that read like a particularly motivational self-help guide.
Rick Ross ft Ludacris
Black Man's Dream
Powerful return to form from Ross, who reimagines the American dream on this 1990s-style gangsta-rap cut. Grammy-winning rapper Ludacris features on one particularly hard-hitting verse.
Dirty Vegas
Days Go By (MiM0SA remix)
Dark, atmospheric electro inspired by both Kanye West and Marilyn Manson.
Subscape
Mr Kipling
Intense, off-kilter dubstep designed to disorientate the listener. As much a physical sensation as an aural one.
Savage Nomads
An Empty Seat
Catchy indie pop that recalls The Automatic and Hard-Fi.
Various Cruelties
Chemicals
Indie pop featuring that most unfashionable of musical tricks – the guitar solo. VC's lack of cynicism is refreshing.
