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.THE FIVE BEST SOUNDS OF THE MOMENT
The Orb: Perpetual Dawn (Big Life, single). Spacey skank from the duo who invented ambient house as a joke. AB
The Boo Radleys: Barney (. . . And Me) (Creation, single). The whole indie spectrum from twee to cosmic in four hectic minutes. AB
Bheki Mseleku: Timelessness (Verve, CD). As seen on the South Bank Show, South African pianist meets big-name guests (Joe Henderson, Pharoah Sanders, Abbey Lincoln, Elvin Jones) in a set full of energy, wit and invention. Phil Johnson
Janacek: String Quartets 1 & 2. Dvorak: String Quartet 10. Vanburgh Quartet (Collins, CD). Strong, vibrant, sympathetic performances of the Czech repertory. MW
Julee Cruise: This is Our Night (track on The Voice of Love, Warner, CD/tape). Chorister's vocals, cinema atmosphere, reggae rhythm: unlikely, but beautiful. Tim de Lisle
