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 eight songs here are less like an album and more like two EPs in a set: one of spectral, understated ballads, and the other of spectral, understated takes on left-field electronic music." nymag.com

"Another great album from Britain's most consistently brilliant band. And come "Codex", it truly strikes the listener dumb. Like "Motion Picture Soundtrack", "Street Spirit", "Sail to the Moon", "Nude" – insert your own favourite slow-paced Radiohead number here – it's a piece of rarefied beauty." bbc.co.uk/music

"'The King of Limbs' finds Yorke and company preparing to forge a new path while taking a pensive look at what has gone before... a transitional record, capturing one final, serene moment while anticipating the coming storm — an intake of breath before the band's next big creative exhale." slantmagazine.com
