Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Los Campesinos!

Tiptoe Through the True Bits

Recorded during the Hello Sadness album sessions, this track finally has a formal release.

Blood Diamonds featuring Grimes

Phone Sex

Yet another strong release from 4AD. BD's recruitment of the 'artist of the moment' is inspired.

Friends

Home

The latest single from Friends' debut LP is a thin and funky pop number with a Smiths-style vocal hook.

Big Boi and Theophilus London featuring Tre Luce

She Said OK

A far-from-subtle slow jam from the trio. The sexually explicit lyrics are more than matched by a sleazy 1970s bass line.

Ty Segall

Swag

Loud and snotty garage rock'n'roll that recalls early Supergrass.
