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.

The xx

Angels

The first single from the band's forthcoming second album, 'Coexist'. Immediately recognisable as The xx, this simple pop track also harbours some subtle experimentation.

------

MellowHype

Fakuoy

The Odd Future duo announced details of their second side-project LP last week, and dropped this brand new track shortly afterwards.

------

The Gaslamp Killer ft. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson

Flange Face

Industrial electronica built around an oddly mechanic beat and disorientating instrumentation. A brutal taste of what to expect from his forthcoming full-length debut.

------

Domo Genesis & the Alchemist ft. Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples and Action Bronson

Elimination Chamber

The second Odd Future-affiliated release this week, and it's equally excellent. Each of the featured artists' verses adds a new layer to the song.

------

Puro Instinct

Dream Lover

Puro Instinct's breezy, euphoric dream-pop will appeal to fans of bands such as Blood Orange and Friends.

------

Talk Normal

Bad Date

The first release from the Brooklyn noiseniks' new album is a mean and moody affair with plenty of scuzzy low-end.
