Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Former Hüsker Dü drummer/songwriter Grant Hart exhibits huge ambition on The Argument, a double-album inspired by William Burroughs' planned sci-fi re-imagining of Milton's Paradise Lost.

It's a vast undertaking, ranging musically from the brittle, indie-pop of “Morningstar”, through the portentous prog-rock of “Awake, Arise!” and Buddy Holly-esque rockabilly of “Letting Me Out” to the Bonzos-style ukelele croon of “Underneath the Apple Tree”, presenting the snake's viewpoint of life in Eden.
