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.

The result wasLast Day Of Summer, a typically diverse collection first offered as a free download, now retrospectively available as a CD. There's the usual complement of fizzy, polyrhythmic math-rock - including a couple of surprisingly delicate jazz instrumentals in which the musicians' individual parts intertwine ingeniously - augmented by some bracing lysergic country-rock akin to the Meat Puppets, whimsical cowpoke fare like "Some Wild Going Outward". Elsewhere, the guitar curlicues and high vocals of "Champ" recall the Grateful Dead, while the quirky pop charm of "Home Together", with its sweet harmonies and surging guitars surfing over an organ bed, brings to mind a tranche of '60s West Coast pop from such as The Beach Boys and The Association.
