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.

Bristol's jazz-rock iconoclasts sound even more live and dangerous on this follow-up to their award-winning debut, All Is Yes.

Jim Barr's bass riffs and Clive Deamer's drums supply background (and sometimes foreground) to Jake McMurchie's sax and Pete Judge's trumpet. Like Big Air, the horns now take their thrashy/ delicate influences from the Balkans as much as free jazz. As music-for-sitting-down goes, one wimpily feels that a little less crunch might be welcome.

Pick of the album: 'The Word for Moonlight...': less thump, more soul
