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.

It opens with a squall of Hendrix-like guitars which give way to boy-girl vocals before the thump of jungle drums swamps everything that's gone before.

This is the sound of Sleepy Sun, a six-piece who filter Jack White's dirty blues through the haze of 1960s California. It could all go horribly hippie, of course, but the lack of over indulgence, the tangible thrill in their own ability and the super-sweet voice of Rachel Williams combine to make this the perfect record for summer 2010. If you're a bit of a hippie like me, that is.
