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.

My Anima
An intriguing solo effort from The Mystery Jets' bassist. The song's fuzzy atmospherics are not dissimilar to early Florence and the Machine.
Grass House
Faun
Claustrophobic, country-inflected indie, which somehow recalls both Townes Van Zandt and Last Shadow Puppets-era Alex Turner.
Björk
Moon
The second promo track from 'Biophilia', Björk's eighth studio album. Despite an unconventional structure, the haunting percussion and detached vocals ensure commercial appeal.
Martyn
Popgun
Hard, housey beats, loaded with high-energy samples.
Ganglians
Van Mix
A 12-track, beautifully sequenced mixtape of the music Ganglians listen to on tour. Plenty of underground hip- hop and experimental electro.

Your Love (Live at Wah)
The Gothenburg-based band turn The Outfield's slightly cheesy 1980s power-pop anthem into a fragile, Laura Marling-esque torch song.
Former Bullies
It Might Be OK
Slacker garage pop from Manchester. File alongside The Castilians and Sex Beet.
Shabazz Palaces
The King's New Clothes Were Made by His Own Hands (Live at Tomcast)
Overshadowed by posturing and autotune, the musicianship behind much modern hip-hop is easily overlooked. This track and its accompanying full band live video help set the record straight.
