The Autumn Defense, Broken Horse
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 is hard to recommend most "side project" records. Shorn of their creative driving force, backing musicians merely demonstrate why they are kept in the background, and release albums of interest only to completists. But Wilco are no ordinary group, so it stands to reason that this record by bassist John Stirrat and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone is no ordinary side-project. Taking 1970s AOR as their avowed inspiration, the Autumn Defense's third album is pure, mellow gold that sounds like Crowded House, Manassas and Simon and Garfunkel blended together as a big soft-rock smoothie.
