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.After a year's hiatus, British act Mt. Wolf are back with new material - touring and putting out their new EP Hex this year, as well as recording a long-awaited debut set for release early in 2017.
To keep fans going in the meantime we're premiering their new track 'Golden' featuring Australian vocalist St. South - listen below.
Q&A with Mt. Wolf
What are you listening to at the moment?
Alex Mitchell: I've recently come across Mick Jenkins, who's a really cool hiphop artist from Chicago. The production is super slick, and his rap style is really chilled. Love it.
Sebastian “Bassi” Fox: I've been listening to Bon Iver's latest three songs and impatiently awaiting his new album. I've been obsessed with Stranger Things and absolutely love the soundtrack. As always I'm listening to a lot of Joy Division and The National - Along with Justin Vernon, Ian Curtis and Matt Berninger are big influences on my vocal style.
Stevie McMinn: I run record labels so I'm listening to my releases of course! Recently Phoria, Haux and Linying have been doing really well. Aside from that Bon Iver's new songs are on repeat, especially '33 “GOD”' and The National are a constant go to.
What are your plans for the rest of 2016?
Our debut album is nearly done - I just have to finish some of the vocal lines and then we need to finish the production and mix it.
We're really lucky to be working with Ken Thomas - I'd always done the production on my own before, and it's been an amazing experience for us to have someone as accomplished (Daughter, Sigur Ros, M83) as him working with us.
Really excited to be playing a few European festivals towards the end of the year, including one of my favourite places Paris. The venue we're playing is one road away from one of my favourite bars, Dirty Dick!
First gig, best gig?
Unless school guitar recitals are of interest, let's go with our first gig as Mt. Wolf at London's XOYO in 2012. My favourite would probably be The Continental Club show we played in Austin earlier this year. It would either be that or our last London show at Oslo (the venue not the city). I think we're constantly improving and I feel like we're a really strong unit onstage now.
Oslo would also get our vote because we played a couple of the songs that are making it onto the album which is going to be slightly different to our previous offerings. A close second was playing at Union Chapel with an orchestra, that was pretty unforgettable.
