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.It's been many years since Byrne, the former head Talking Head, has sounded this comfortable with his pop roots.
This is good news. Because while his solo projects since have never been less than interesting, few would claim that he has ever matched the work he created with that seminal band. Guitarist and singer St Vincent (Annie Clark) here proves a perfect foil and – with the help of a brass-led backing band – Love This Giant is a skewed and funky instant classic.
