RECORDS / The IoS Playlist: The five best sounds of the moment
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.Little Texas: Peaceful Easy Feeling (track on Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles, Giant, CD/tape). Skirling Telecasters, stonewashed harmonies, the best passing chord of the decade: there's no need to feel guilty about singing along to this. Richard Williams
Omni Trio: Mystic Stepper (track on The Joint compilation, Suburban Base, CD/LP). Soul-diva agonies and frail keyboard tones ride an 'ardcore techno rollercoaster. AB
Kristin Hersh: Your Ghost (4AD, single). The saddest quiet record involving Michael Stipe since 'Losing My Religion'. AB
Drive: Curfew (Ninjaman, single). Viscous funk thickened with slide guitars: London clubland discovers Lynyrd Skynyrd. AB
Big John Patton: Blue Planet Man (Paddle Wheel/Bellaphon, CD). Excellent new album from the lost legend of the B-3 Hammond organ, with John Zorn on alto sax. Phil Johnson
