The Word On... Your Future Our Clutter - The Fall
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."While he may be an old dog with a pickled onion for a head, Mark E Smith and The Fall are still capable of learning the odd new trick. Find proof as Smith becomes Prestwich's own Jim Morrison on 'Chino', or in the drones that glue the record together." - bbc.co.uk/music
"Smith's singing – if it can be called such a thing – is his best in years. The caustic growl which marred the last couple of Fall albums has softened into something clearer and more intelligible." - musicomh.com
"Cherish him while he's here. We won't see his like again, and future generations will look back with considerable envy that we got to be around when an album that could so effectively eviscerate our expectations of what music is and can be was released by a band entering its fifth decade." - drownedinsound.com
