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.

Do I Love You?
What frontman Jonny Pearce lacks in vocal power is more than made up for in quirky arrangements and layers of reverb on this Ronettes cover.
Burial
Kindred EP
The long wait for new Burial material is over with this excellent three-track EP. Ultra-dark synths accompany UK-garage beats to create 2012's gloomiest dance release.
Grimes
Eight
Despite a swamping bass and moments of heady psychedelica, this track from Claire Bouche's new album, 'Visions', still retains a commercial feel .
Earl Sweatshirt
Home
More Odd Future–affiliated madness – this time from the group's elusive poet laureate.
How to Dress Well
Clowne Towne
Part of a fundraiser for Ad Hoc publications, this Xiu Xiu cover features a melodramatic, a cappella vocal manipulated by special effects.
Beach Fossils
Lessons
Jingly-jangly indie-pop released as the B-side to forthcoming single 'Shallow'.
Unsane
No Chance
Grunge revivalists mixing classic rock's brutal riffs with hardcore punk's raw vocals.
Bill Callahan
So Long, Marianne
This countrified cover retains much of Leonard Cohen's original majesty, while giving the song a tougher edge via an overdriven electric guitar.
The Van Doos
Black It Out
It's 1995 revisited. Pulp's hooks, tones and festival-sized choruses are a clear influence.
