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."Another periodic dispatch from a musician who hasn't run out of clever, catchy ways to describe the world in which he lives... Blends acoustic ballads like the yearning "Love and Hard Times" with rhythm-happy uptempo numbers like "Love Is Eternal Sacred Light"." avclub.com
"Can be stodgy in its emotions and a bit too devoted to its motifs, but there's something humanising about the album's shortcomings." pitchfork.com
"Driven by Simon's uniquely percussive acoustic guitar, and with his world music leanings embedded naturally rather than overtly, this beguiling album shows him to have lost none of his ability for finding universal truths within the guise of introspection. It's a profound statement from a master of his craft." bbc.co.uk/ music
