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.

Fog is Andrew Broder, a young man who's defected from the hip-hop and the punk scenes he was part of in Minnesota in order to create this strange and fuzzy lo-fi, post-rock/hip-hop hybrid with not much more than turntables, a guitar and a 4-track. There's some scratching, but mainly he uses his turntables like an instrument – manually timestretching tones on a record to create new tunes and beats rather than just playing with other people's. He's not the first person to try it, but surprisingly few have managed, and the end result is like a cross between Kid Koala and Badly Drawn Boy, but a bit more pretentious.
