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.

The National

Demons

Fourteen years into their career and The National still find new ways to express the mysterious world of a man's private, neurotic thoughts.

Action Bronson ft. Lauriana Mae

Compliments 2 the Chef

Yet another excellent collaboration between the Albanian/American rapper and producer Harry Fraud. This time the rap attack features Mae's mesmerising hooks.

Hooded Fang

Graves

From the opening line on being covered in human ashes, the song's dark lyrics clash with its upbeat pop melodies.

Empress Of Tristeza

Deliciously awkward art-pop from the Spaniard's brand new EP (pictured).

Dirty Beaches

Landscapes in The Mist

Vocals take a backseat on DB's new material – a bleak, haunting and cinematic take on no wave.
