Album: Scouting For Girls, The Light Between Us (Epic)
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.This is, on the face of it, Scouting For Girls' break-up album. However, because SFG are the piano-led Top Man indie band whose lyrics are typified by rhymes such as "Summertime in the city, girls dress hot, boys go silly", there's not a lot in the way of emotional insight.
Roy Stride's idea of wistful yearning is "I want you back … naked!", his idea of nostalgia scrolling through "naughty" texts. This is music for the Keith Lemon demographic, and frankly, they deserve each other.
