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.On Friday, the most blogged artists according to The Hype Machine are French alternative rock band Phoenix, Baltimore-based indie duo Beach House, and Canadian electronic artist Caribou. Also making waves today are Brooklyn experimental rock band Yeasayer and British post-rock/electronic musician Four Tet.
Yeasayer first came to widespread attention after playing at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas in 2007. The band's sophomore album, Odd Blood, is due out February 9, and on January 28 the band released the single "O.N.E." from that album. Music blog The Tape (thetapeisnotsticky.com) calls the track "as funky as it is intelligent and melodic."
Four Tet is the moniker for British musician Kieran Hebden, who played with post-rock band Fridge before branching out as a solo artist. Known for both his original materials and remixes, he released his album There is Love in You on January 25. Synthetic Sound (syntheticsound.blogspot.com) calls it "an atmospheric electronic record featuring washed out backgrounds, stuttering beats, and otherworldly samples....a great folktronica album."
