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.

Joanna Newsom Baby Birch

This delicate, harp-led track from her new album Have One On Me is nine and a half minutes of pure melancholy. But you still won't want it to end.

Matthew and the Atlas I Will Remain

A foot-stamping bluegrass number from this up-and-coming folkie's forthcoming To The North EP.

Dry The River No Rest

This alt-country outfit are playing a show for Black Cab Sessions at Kilburn's Luminaire on 1 April.

Broken Bells The High Road

Rousing opener on the debut LP from Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) and James Mercer of The Shins.

Gorillaz Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach

Snoop Dogg adds great, laid-back vocals in the early exchanges of the long awaited new Gorillaz record.

Fryderyk Chopin Fantasie Impromptu in C sharp minor

Monday marked the 200th anniversary of the Polish composer's birth, so a good moment to revisit one of his beautiful piano impromptus – composed in 1834.
