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.Length-and-line English pop-folk, well-chosen songs, nicely executed and pretty as some spring mornings.
Oates' brother Jim Moray produces and brings to the project its pop sophistication (dig those "rim-shots") but there are other forces lending pungency. Alasdair Roberts is prime among them. The title track is his, and his guitar and voice are anchored into a couple of songs like lichen. Kate Rusby fans will be intrigued. Oates' voice is similarly light, if not quite so effortlessly musical. No harm done, though.
