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.
SBTRKT
Gloss
Released on his SoundCloud this week, "Gloss" finds SBTRKT in a blissed-out haze, all melodic hooks and chilled-out, summer-evening euphoria.

Fergus and Geronimo
No Parties
Post-punk that's both retro and innovative. Could easily have been a lost gem from 1979.

Bat for Lashes
Laura
A haunting piano riff begins this melancholy ode to a troubled friend. Subtle, heartfelt and profoundly moving.
------
Django Django
Hail Bop
DD go for a more organic sound on this slightly wonky indie-pop track. The disorientating chord changes are typically eccentric.
------
Blood Diamonds
Ritual
This trance-influenced trip-pop track will appeal to fans of Grimes' quirkier work.
------
Dirty Projectors
Buckle Up
Scuzzy, lo-fi garage punk. The recording quality lacks the low-end to make it a classic, but "Buckle Up" is an interesting little nugget nonetheless.

Black Moth Super Rainbow
Windshield Smasher
BMSR make psychedelic, guitar-heavy, synth-punk that retains a pop sensibility.
