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.Circuital opens with a gong and orchestral fanfare, appropriately so for what may be My Morning Jacket's best album.
Recorded back in their native Kentucky, it's a much warmer, welcoming affair than the variable Evil Urges, with producer Tucker Martine expertly eliciting the synergistic quality of a band in perfect harmony. Several tracks glow with the kind of ebullient charm and sincerity one hears in Fleet Foxes, particularly "Wonderful (The Way I Feel)" and the title-track's euphoric reflection on cyclicality, which finds Jim James "growing older every day, going back to my childhood ways". A similar theme drives "First Light", while elsewhere "Outta My System" deals with overcoming bad habits, and in the album's quirkiest track, what sounds like a children's chorus urges us to "Hold on to Black Metal".
