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.Tony Da Gatorra is a Brazilian TV repairman/inventor/ musician/peace warrior best known for his invention of the "gatorra", a sickle-shaped instrument combining elements of drum machine and synthesiser, which lends itself readily to the sort of extemporised garage-rock improvisations undertaken here with Super Furry Animal Gruff Rhys.
This is transcontinental techno-primitive territory, with Rhys's waspish, distorted guitar riffs combining and colliding with Gatorra's angry, synthetic plod-beats, the pair taking turns on vocals. Gatorra's lyrics are peacenik diatribes, while Rhys's are characteristically more inclined towards an absurdist take on such iniquities. It's rare these days to hear rock music of such unmediated spontaneity.
