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.Few bands are either as prolific or as eclectic as Liverpool’s masked marauders Clinic, whose fifth album DoIt! features much the same uncategorisable mix of influences as their first.
Pop, psychedelia, soul, jazz, krautrock, folk and dub all feature here, though usually in some mutant, metamorphosed form, and mashed up with some other, seemingly incongruent style that they somehow manage to make work together.
The galumphing fuzz-guitar riff of “Memories” opens proceedings with Ade Blackburn reflecting upon “memories of the pieces of a puzzle you once had” – a perfect description of their musical methods – before turning his attention to “Tomorrow”, whose acoustic blues guitar motif is partnered with an astringent electric guitar counterpoint and typically enigmatic harmonies.
Weird and wonderful as ever.
