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.What the hell to make of Will Oldham's umpteenth record in his guise as Bonnie "Prince" Billy?
Gone completely now are the dark musings against bare backing, and in their place are sometimes corny, sometimes earnest thoughts on life, love and loss set against a country sound that finds space for gospel backing vocals, fiddles, saxophones, whatever. This is BPB in Nashville Skyline mode and it can only divide opinion further on an always difficult, challenging and intriguing artist.
Pick of the Album: 'Death Final' is lovelier than its title would suggest
