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.Diamond Mine is Kenny Anderson and Jon Hopkins's romanticised evocation of life in a Scottish coastal village.
The pair have weaved Anderson's songs together with various ambient elements – traffic noise, birdsong, the tinkle of teacups on saucers – to create a song-cycle that illuminates the exceptional in the everyday. In "John Taylor's Month Away", a fisherman has misgivings, over a plaintive wheeze of concertina and a warm sussurus of humming keyboard; in "Running on Fumes", a minor car accident prompts futile arguing between brothers; in "Bats in the Attic", the singer frets over the appearance of silver in his sideburns. But the wistful tone of regret ultimately resolves, in "Your Young Voice", into a dad's devotion, the child's voice acknowledged as all that's "keeping me holding on to my dull life".
