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.A supposed "soundtrack for empty cities at 2am", Destroyed was recorded by Moby while touring, and has an appropriately unrooted feel, full of spooked solitude.
It's his usual blend of gentle techno nudges, treated vocal murmurs, quietly pumping beats and indeterminately soulful female moans. There's a deep emotional presence lurking behind the dancefloor utility, and the chord sequences of tracks like "Sevastopol" and "After" are primed for subtler but more lasting impact. "Stella Maris" is a poignant collusion of strings and electronic "voice", while "The Violent Bear It Away" features a Ludovico Einaudi-style piano figure and strings infused with the kind of synthetic uplift of Coldplay. It's a soothing, chillsome experience, though some tracks do strangle themselves in repetitive accretions.
