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.

The electro-pop popettes' third album finds the trio leaving behind the frothy pop of previous efforts and entering a Dark Phase.

Granted, a dark phase for Au Revoir Simone still sounds more like the Depeche Mode of "I Just Can't Get Enough" than the Depeche Mode of "Personal Jesus", but the triumph of Still Night, Still Light is that it places a blanket of synthy warmth over songs that could, in lesser hands, sound cold and calculated rather than charming. It's a breath of fresh Air, filtered through the boho streets of Brooklyn.
