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.As its title hints, this often sounds more like a BBC4 documentary than a pop record. And that’s no bad thing.
The favoured technique of J Willgoose Esq and Wrigglesworth, as trailed by their much-praised “War Room EP”, is to blend received-pronounciation dialogue from old BFI-borrowed movies with chemical beats, krautrock riffs or even, as on “Theme From PSB”, bluegrass banjos. The result, powerfully evocative of a disappearing Britain, is a sampladelic delight.
