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.For his third album, Icelandic maverick Mugison has abandoned the laptop troubadour approach of previous releases for an all-out assault on retro-rock authenticity.
The stodgy organ rock-a-boogie of “To The Bone” and the introductory “Mugiboogie” are interspersed with quieter ruminations such as the Will Oldham-esque “The Great Unrest” and the harrowing “Deep Breathing”, a response to his mother’s illness that features a string arrangement that recalls Nick Drake.
This is an album that vacillates wildly between extremes of emotion – from the reflective mood of the country-blues-styled “The Pathetic Anthem” to the Napalm Death-like growl of “I’m Alright”. It’s an intense, almost schizoid, experience, impressive in its own way, but not one I’d like to repeat too soon.
