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.

Jay-Z, Kanye West and Big Sean

Clique

Produced by the Grammy nominated Hit Boy, this is slick, expansive hip-hop from artists in full flow. Pitchfork's description of it as 'centre of the universe' music is spot on.

--------------------

Death Grips

@deathgripz

Naming a song after your Twitter handle may not be very cool, but this party track is something is something of a red herring on the band's dark and raw new LP, 'The Money Store', anyway.

--------------------

Deptford Goth

Life After Defo

The electro-pop songwriter from New Zealand, Daniel Woolhouse follows up his excellent debut LP with this menacing, gospel-tinged new single.

--------------------

Freddie Gibbs ft Dana Williams

The Hard

From Gibbs's forthcoming 'Baby Face Killa' mixtape, featuring the daughter of Michael Jackson's 'Off The Wall' guitar player David Williams.

--------------------

Angel Olson

Acrobat

Taken from Olsen's second album 'Half Way Home', released next week, 'Acrobat' is dark, timeless folk mixed with smoky cabaret.

--------------------

FUR

Reverie

More scratchy electronica from FUR. 'The Yonder EP', from which this track comes, was released earlier this month.

--------------------

Menomena

Pique

This third teaser track from the group's forthcoming album 'Moms' is soulful electro-indie pop.
