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.

For a bunch of wayward hippies there is something completely savage, hypnotic and nocturnal about the psychedelic rumbles of this Houston, Texas-based ensemble.

Opening track "Swans", with its earthy, warm tones, creates a serene soundscape for an album that is quickly submerged by a desolate mardiness, as can be heard on "Seasonal Economy". "Pompeii" drones and jingles with a Velvet Underground verve, while the sludge and fuzz guitars and muffled drums of "Too Much Honkytonking" never fail to give you the heebie-jeebies. A certain treat for noise fans in the shoegaze vein.

Pick of the Album: Not one for the faint of heart: 'Too Much Honkytonking'
