Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Scratch beneath the surface sheen of It's All True and all kinds of depths emerge.

The fourth album by the Canadian duo of Jeremy Greenspan and Johnny Dark is named after a wartime propaganda film by Orson Welles, has one song ("Banana Ripple") based on Howard Hughes' obsession with ice-cream and is apparently a break-up album. But when that surface is a penthouse pop confection reminiscent of Zoot Woman and Hall and Oates, why scratch it?
