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.

Eno's first for Warp begins with some predictably ethereal Eno-esque chords informing us we are in yet another green world.

But later things warm up for a while with some tribally intense pieces that are unusually opaque and up-tempo for the man who generally has such a less-is-more approach. Perhaps this is partly the influence of his two collaborators, keyboardist Jon Hopkins and guitarist Leo Abrahams. But whatever, it's a rare pleasure to hear Eno being so "Blank Frank"-ly edgy and noisy again.
