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.

"'50 Words for Snow' is a success not only because it's so challengingly bold and peculiar, but because it repackages Bush's usual idiosyncrasies in an entirely new form." slantmagazine.com

"These tracks are sparse but airtight, haunting but unrelentingly gorgeous, both logical successors to the stunning second half of 'Aerial' and completely unlike anything she's done. In other words, business as usual for one of the most singularly captivating and influential talents in rock history." onethirtybpm.com

"For its glacial pace, tight vision, long running time and extreme track length (seven tracks in 65 minutes) it's a surprisingly accessible work. It's absorbing and enchanting without having to resort to formulaic song structures, pop thrills or radio-friendly catchiness." musicomh.com
