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.On September 9, blogger buzz is building around American chillwave act Toro y Moi's upcoming EP, Freaking Out, set for a September 13 release. Another hot topic in The Hype Machine's most blogged artists chart is London-based rockers Yuck, who are giving their recent debut album the deluxe reissue treatment.
Fronted by Chazwick Bundick, Toro y Moi has been a hot topic in the music blogosphere since the release of the first single - a cover of Alexander O'Neal and Cherelle's "Saturday Love" - from his upcoming follow-up to Underneath the Pine. "Chad's take on this cover is, of course, upbeat," reviews blogger Indie Shuffle. "But it's also fresh, breezy, and shall I say... busy."
Recently Yuck announced that their label Fat Possum will be releasing a deluxe edition of the band's self-titled debut album in October, featuring a second disc with six new B-side tracks. The band recently dropped one of the tracks, a tune called "Cousin Corona" that features "a Sonic Youthy/Pixies bassline and a loud/quiet/loud/quiet bit that will activate any moshpit anywhere," according to blogger Stagedive.
