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 their fourth album, Beach House, the Baltimore dreampop duo of Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand have finessed their vision to perfection.
Bloom's 10 tracks never deviate from a sound which draws upon the ethereal 1980s sounds of Talk Talk and the Blue Nile and evokes feelings of non-specific nostalgia. With its delicate harmonies, tinkling keyboard arpeggios and reverb-drenched guitar, its pristine unity is never disrupted. It is what it is. And what it is is beautiful.
