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.Swedish techno artist Axel Willner, known as The Field, enters The Hype Machine's most blogged artists chart after releasing an eight-minute ambient track from his upcoming third album. Also climbing into the top ten on September 8 is Los Angeles indie band HEALTH.
Hailing from Stockholm, The Field is releasing the LP Looping State of Mind on October 25, and he recently released a cut from the album called "Then It's White." "The track has drums, but it's still pretty close to ambient, riding a diffuse piano loop and patiently unfolding its prettiness," describes Stereogum.
Noise rockers HEALTH last created buzz in the blogosphere last year with their remix album DISCO2. Now the band just dropped a cover of electronic artist Pictureplane's track "Goth Star" that is "surprisingly toned-down," writes blogger Cover Me. "The original stomped and roared in a hazy assault while HEALTH's cover recovers some of the buried-deep melody."
