Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

The second album from Franco-techno duo Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé is decidedly less pop-tabulous than their career highlights to date: Simian collaboration "We are Your Friends", their own "D.A.N.C.E." or that Grammy-winning MGMT remix.

With titles such as "Civilisation", "Canon" and "Helix", and lyrical references to the Crusades, AVD is prog-medieval at times. It suggests they're turning into a 21st century ELP or Yes. Was the 21st century really crying out for one?
