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.
Proferring a worldview apparently informed by the 1980s coming-of-age films of John Hughes, Summer Camp's long-awaited debut album seethes with updated teen angst set to engaging electropop grooves.
The duo of Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey have invented a fictional town, Condale, in which to play out the emotional psycho-dramas of characters like "Brian Krakow", whose brutal antagonism – "I don't care about your dreams/ I'd rip you apart at the seams" – is played out against what sounds like a Ting Tings stomp-pop with a sinister undercurrent. A more cheerful antipathy bubbles through tracks like "Done Forever" and "Losing My Mind", whose small-scale wall-of-sound and cleverly interlinked vocal lines still leave room for a whistled hook. A semi-detached, suburban fantasy of idealised heartbreak.
