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.Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley has shown a commendable desire to break new ground in recent months, with the African and Japanese elements of Night Train now followed by this debut album from the country-rock project he's hatched with Jesse Quin and members of The Killers, Mumford & Sons and Noah And The Whale.
It's a melancholy affair, with recurrent mentions of Mount Desolation – more a state of mind than a landmark – and an aching sense of wanderlust underscoring the songs. Bridal Gown bleeds with unrequited love, while Annie Ford starts out as a hitchhiker tale before moving swiftly through a Springsteen-esque tableau of disenchantment. Others are less convincing, with Midnight Ghost seeking Americana authenticity through multi-state travelogue. But it's a warm and wistful journey for the most part.
