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.Former denizen of Brooklyn indie girl groups such as Vivian Girls and Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose has stepped out on her own and come up with a surprise delight: an enchanting dream-pop album steeped in her multi-tracked harmonies.
Memories of new-wave pioneers such as The Cure and New Order are discernible, particularly in the brittle drums and methodical guitar melody of "Know Me"; but rumbling tom-toms and space-age synths characterise "Gospel/Grace" and "Interstellar", which could be Can with a female vocalist. But it's Rose's harmonies that make the album special: warm and breathy, they seem to sidle gently into position, rather than cut with razor precision, a characteristic that lends the feel of an angelic chorale to the gorgeous "Moon in My Mind" and "Pair of Wings".
