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.

Los Campesinos!

Tiptoe Through the True Bits

Recorded during the Hello Sadness album sessions, this track finally has a formal release.

Blood Diamonds featuring Grimes

Phone Sex

Yet another strong release from 4AD. BD's recruitment of the 'artist of the moment' is inspired.

Friends

Home

The latest single from Friends' debut LP is a thin and funky pop number with a Smiths-style vocal hook.

Big Boi and Theophilus London featuring Tre Luce

She Said OK

A far-from-subtle slow jam from the trio. The sexually explicit lyrics are more than matched by a sleazy 1970s bass line.

Ty Segall

Swag

Loud and snotty garage rock'n'roll that recalls early Supergrass.
