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.One member down, Brandon Curtis's Secret Machines roll along in fairly familiar shoegaze-meets-prog style.
There's a touch of Robert Fripp-ish guitar here, a touch of Loop-ish krautrock there, even a bit of Numan, on a record which, while more complex than the average indie rock release, never threatens to blow your mind. It's rescued, late on, by a double whammy of Ziggy-esque ballads in "The Walls Are Starting to Crack" and "I Never Thought to Ask", frustrating glimpses of what might have been.
