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.

Here's something different.

It's pop as we have always known and recognised it, but there is also something going on that hints at a new way forward: namely a bouncy flexibility of instrumentation (trumpets, synths and flugelhorns feature as prominently as the old guitar/bass/drums combo). It's a bit Phoenix, a bit Talk Talk, a bit early Cure, a bit (whisper it) jazz at times.

Too grand and stately to be a guilty pleasure, Mount Chimaera is the sort of record you'll either want to tell all your friends about or keep to yourself.
