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.Luke Solomon is one half of The Freaks, whose electrohouse stomper "The Creeps" was in the Top 10 not long ago. His first solo album has the occasional bassline to match, but it is a far more subtle set of continually mixed minimal tech and beep music. Named after Charles Babbage's mechanical proto-computer and in thrall to the kind of machine music that came out of Detroit in the late Eighties, it also has soul, wistfulness, and sometimes steals the rhythmic jazz screech of 'On the Corner'-era Miles Davis. All that and it has a sense of humour too.
