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.

"Perhaps 'Biophilia' the 'app album' comes across like a pretentious distraction, while 'Biophilia' the 'Björk album' stands with the best of them." tinymixtapes.com

"Both the most conventional and unconventional effort on Björk's resume... it plays best straight through its 10-song cycle, from the tranquil calm of 'Moon' down to the soft plucks on the aptly-titled 'gravity harps' that adorn album closer 'Solstice'." consequenceofsound.net

"As minimally executed as it is maximally conceived, 'Biophilia' doesn't sculpt emptiness; it swims in it. By the disc's end—and in spite of frequent flashes of celestial, awe-dropping grace—all that space accumulates to form an unfocused, almost suffocating absence of song." avclub.com
