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.

"There's a burnt beauty to 'Honey Moon' – something akin to Mark Twain re-written by Edgar Allan Poe – that exerts a deliciously morbid pull on the imagination and the emotions. Satisfaction is guaranteed." - Michael Quinn, bbc.co.uk/music

"They are certainly very talented. The band show a strong sense of melody and harmony, and lyrically there is a real sense of movement to the songs on 'Honey Moon'. Fans of classic country and Americana will definitely dig this one." - wildysworld.blogspot.com

"With such topics covered as grief, love, mourning, relationships and much more, there is some spiritual stuff going on here. And even when those spirits come out at night, they are always greeted with love." - Bryan Sanchez, adequacy.net

"Cinematic gloominess and image-rich romanticism make them as much heirs to Nick Cave's 'Murder Ballads' as to the current crop of alt-country/folk revivalists, but the banjo and steel guitar keep this rooted in US music traditions." - micropsia.blogspot.com
