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.
Summer Camp
Round the Moon
Blissed-out, unpretentious synth-pop and girl-boy vocals from the duo on their new Moshi Moshi 'Young' EP.
Wildbirds & Peacedrums
Human Behaviour
The Swedish husband and wife duo's cover of Björk's classic at the Polar Music Prize ceremony is cool and slinky.
Kanye West feat Pusha
Runaway
Premiered at the MTV VMAs, West self-flagellates and emotes in grand fashion.
Riz MC
Get On It
This new single produced by rising tech/breaks star Lazersonic is a blazing assault on the senses that also showcases the MC's singing voice.
Women
Eyesore
We defy you not to fall in love with the endlessly repeating final chord of this track, which concludes the Canadian art-rocker's excellent new album, 'Public Strain'.
Tennis
Marathon
Pitch perfect 1960s-influenced girl pop, taking tried and tested Supremes-meets-C86 formula to melodic new levels.
Black Manila
Hooker
Black Lips'-esque vocals, and
a riff nabbed from the 1960s garage-rock compilation 'Nuggets', power this snotty, punk-rock rumble.
Neil Young
Angry Young
Neil Young, from his up-coming Daniel Lanois produced album 'Le Noise', sounds rather more resigned than angry in this slow track full of fuzzy, chrunching guitars.
