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.
Panda Bear
Last Night at the Jetty
Hushed and emotional, this track nevertheless feels driven by the spirit of summer. 'Pet Sounds' comparisons are not misleading.
Black Lips
Modern Art
First single from their hotly anticipated, Mark Ronson- produced new album, 'Arabia Mountain'. As snotty and upbeat as ever, but perhaps a tad more cynical.
Sleep Over
Casual Diamond
Hazy, beat-led pop that, through sophisticated chord changes and interesting time signatures, stands head and shoulders above its rivals.
Cass McCombs
County Line
Melancholic, country-tinged indie pop. Part Flying Burrito Brothers, part Neil Young, part inoffensive 1970s AOR. You'll either love it or hate it.
Bleeding Knees Club
Have Fun
The juvenile spirit of garage rock'n'roll captured in a bombastic, three-minute blast.
Shabazz Palace
An Echo from the Hosts That Profess Infinitum
Dark minimalist hip-hop, led by a spooky xylophone riff and apocalyptic samples.
Bodies of Water
Open Rhythms
Air's laid-back grooves mixed with Beatlesesque strings.
tUnE-yArDs
Bizness
Fusing acoustic-folk, jazz, Afro-pop and reggae, this is a strong, innovative track from Merrill Garbus's latest project.
Ben Howard
Old Pine
John Martyn/Jose Gonzalez-inspired, acoustic indie pop.
