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.

Third time around, Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux's loungecore collective needed to try something different.

So this time they've lured some of the original singers to duet with their rolling rota of chanteuses – Martin Gore appears on "Master and Servant"; Ian McCulloch crops up on "All My Colours", etc.

Truth be told, the formula is getting a bit samey: take a dozen new wave classics, and play them very quietly. So quietly that, once or twice, you can almost hear the sound of a barrel being scraped.
