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."It isn't that far off the beam... The Lips nod to Neil Young, Pink Floyd, and Walt Disney, but also to Joy Division, Santana, and Gary Numan. Defying its own title, 'Embryonic' presents a band discovering that the far edge of an idea is often more compelling than its core." - avclub.com
"There's a raw directness to 'Embryonic' that's been absent from Lips' records since the mid-90s. For the first time in years, they've made an album that actually sounds like a band playing live together... it captures them at their most sprawling and ambitious." - pitchfork.com
"It's tempting to call the album a "classic"... What The Flaming Lips have accomplished is impossible to ignore: an ambitious double album in an age where the single is making a comeback, a collection of music that makes a 25-year-old band sound vital and new." - tinymixtapes.com
"Embryonic may not... win as many converts as Bulletin or Yoshimi, but it's another wonderful album – a veritable trove of speaker-pummelling delights – from the most consistently inventive and thrilling American band, R.E.M. included, of the last 25 years." - bbc.co.uk/music
