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.A Beatles-influenced four-piece from New Zealand never did sound promising.
So it's hard to say why Neil Finn's group are held in such esteem. Hard to say, but probably something to do with this. Most pop operates in a realm where it has to sound happy or sad: songs for a sunny day when you want to throw the windows open, or music for a rainy day when you'd be happy not to see a soul. Crowded House's music, at its best, does both of these things at the same time. Intriguer is as good as sunshine-melancholia gets.
