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.With the Seventies back in guilty-pleasure fashion, The Olympus Sound could be the album to bring Thomas Walsh's Pugwash the success he deserves.
The guest collaborators – Ben Folds, Andy Partridge, Neil Hannon – indicate the type of smart-pop terrain traversed, from the languid ELO-isms of "Answers on a Postcard", with its fuzzy fairground organ, bells and whistles, to the echoes of "Tomorrow Never Knows" swirling like incense smoke through psych-pop homages such as "There You Are". The Pugwash charm is evident throughout, with a pleasing tone of sweetened isolation to "Fall Down" and "See You Mine (Coda)", while Walsh's gift for lyrics of deep simplicity is best demonstrated in the latter's line, "Everybody needs someone who will share in the pain of a life undone."
