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.The LA indie queen Diva Dompé displays a "kooky" avant-gardism on her solo debut: she's like a MIA minus the rhythm and politics.
For the 11 pieces that comprise The Glitter End, she yokes meandering organ and synth parts to a quiet clutter of stumbling percussion, occasionally humming over the top in a way which prevents easy comprehension of her lyrics, while leaving one assured that comprehension probably wouldn't make that much difference. Tracks like "Twilight in Inquanok" and "Spinning Vines" sound like music made by someone barely in control of their instruments, unable to sync delays and tempos, applying fuzz and vibrato effects randomly; or if we're being charitable, like Sun Ra on a bad day. But there's an odd, beguiling charm lurking beneath "Hold Me Again" and "Glow Worm".
