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 Low Anthem Charlie Darwin

This week's natural selection, a haunting paean to evolutionary debate, sung in other-worldly falsetto.

Alan Pownwall Clara

This jaunty acoustic pop single from the London-based Pownall is only to be released as a limited-edition 7in, but it's on his Myspace page, too.

Donae'o I

A melodic cut that sways on the right side of UK funky.

Neil Young Out on the Weekend

Prepare for Young's festival appearances with this exquisitely laid-back opener to the classic Harvest.

Jay-Z DOA (Death of Auto-Tune)

In which our hero returns to save rap from Auto-Tune vocals.

Yoko Ono The Sun is Down (Cornelius mix)

Bleeps reign in a track mixed by Japanese musical polymath Cornelius. She returns with her Plastic Ono Band on the "Don't Stop Me!" EP.
