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.Strange, beautiful, painfully fragile Falkirk/ Tokyo fusion. Pianist/ composer Wells – who has worked with Isobel Campbell and other Scottish indie artists – went to Japan to record at the home studio, the Gok of the album's title, of weird non-musicians Maher Shalal Hash Baz on a collection of favourite tunes.
The effect (likely to enrage musos and purists) is as if a children's brass orchestra was played bits of Burt Bacharach and was then asked to continue in the same vein.
