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.Chapel Club are another retro-indie band apparently eager to re-run the 1980s, albeit in slightly more musically adventurous manner than the likes of White Lies and Interpol.
In Chapel Club's case, the defining precursor is Echo & the Bunnymen, with "Five Trees" ably aping both Ian McCulloch's vocal delivery and Will Sergeant's psych-rock guitar style. They're at their best on the single "Surfacing", where the menacing undertones of their chugging stadium-rock are piquantly spiked with lyrical quotes from "Dream a Little Dream of Me". Elsewhere, they range moodily from the euphoric isolation of "Fine Light" to the bullish, driving momentum of the Bauhaus-styled "White Knight Position", the most serious mis-step coming in the ugly emo poetry of "After the Flood".
