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.What if Kraftwerk were French and wrote love songs? The combintation of tech and house minimalism with deadpan, double-tracked vocal intonations might have a very similar flavour to the kind of lovesick electro-pop that this Parisian duo essay on their first album. Where a couplet like "What a great life/Alright" is saturated with irony, and then underscored with the line "Melancholy is my wife". There's a patch of soggy torch songs in the middle of the album, but the rest is all about standing at the edge of the dancefloor, secretly wanting to join in but smoking a Gauloise and being achingly cool instead.
