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.Where do you go when the sound you pioneered has been absorbed by the mainstream as a default setting for car ads?
Sadly, if you are Massive Attack, you carry on as if nothing has happened. So instead of state-of-the-nation dark electronica that nods to developments in the genre over the past decade, we get more moody music with Martina Topley Bird and Horace Andy on vocals. Oh, and let's chuck in a few "indie" guests, too. Radical. No longer vital, then, but not without the odd moment to remind us why they mattered.
