Album: The Iguanas, If You Should Ever Fall on Hard Times, (Yep Roc)
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.Another post-Katrina New Orleans record. Yes, but it's a good one. The Iguanas are impossible to nail.
They do R&B, jazz, Latin, Tex-Mex, funk and soul. But they find the contiguity in all of those things: 'IYSEFOHT' is not a jukebox experience. Nor is it dominated by local issues – the outstanding song appears to have death-bed hallucination at its generative heart. Perhaps all the group lacks is a charismatic voice: all that "Dancing for Dollars" lacks is a presence as unsavoury as Mick Jagger's circa 1971.
