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.

Ever since the break-up of anti-folk funsters Moldy Peaches (whose greatness has belatedly been acknowledged in the wake of the Juno soundtrack), Green has pushed the "fi" from lo to hi in his solo work, with string sections and relatively lush productions.

On Minor Love, all that has been stripped away and he comes over like a benign folkie, a latter-day Fred Neill. His tales of dating, drugs and suicide sometimes bear closer examination, but songs about hotel rooms are always a warning sign of a creative drought.
