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.

Arcade Fire - We Used to Wait

Anticipation for forthcoming LP 'The Suburbs' has hit fever pitch with the leak of this dark, trippy single currently setting the internet ablaze.

Os Mutantes - Querida Querida

Expect to hear this psychedelic number when the legendary Tropicalia group play the Southbank Centre's Brazil festival next month.

Johnny Flynn - Kentucky Pill

Nu-folk troubadour Flynn introduces Afrobeat into this rollicking lead single from his newly released second album, 'Been Listening'.

Ed Harcourt - Fears of a Father

On his aptly titled album 'Lustre', new father Harcourt explores parenthood.

Dean and Britta - White Horses

Gorgeous, dreamy cover version of the hit TV theme by the ex-Luna duo soon appearing at the Barbican.

Paolo Nutini - Candy

Warm, mature romantic offering from the young Mercury-nominated Scot (above) who soon plays T in the Park and the Eden Sessions.

Cherry Ghost - Kissing Strangers

This soaring string-fuelled anthemic single, about swinging lovers, is a glimpse at the richness of Simon Aldred and co's upcoming album.

Black Lips - Before You Judge Me

Black Lips' lo-fi scuzz-pop may be a little derivative, but ditties like this Bo Diddley-aping number are certainly livening the place up.
