Caught in the net: Second time around for At the Drive-In
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.At the start of the last decade Texan post-hardcore band At the Drive-In (pictured) made some of the most exhilarating raucous rock music around. Some 13 years later their album Relationship of Command is getting bells and whistles re-release treatment. To mark the occasion there is a remix of seminal single “One Armed Scissor” by Swedish electronic musician The Field. The remix is out in May as a 12-inch but it's already streaming at youtu.be/iopzilfHj9M. Admittedly it's a strain to find much trace of the original (if you can hear it at all) but it's a fascinating beats-and-pulses-filled, nine-minute whirr of electronica nonetheless.
The greedy heart of Gabriel Bruce
The London-based indie crooner Gabriel Bruce releases his debut album Love in Arms on 6 May. Last week Bruce shared a new track from the upcoming record with the NME's website at ind.pn/14E4i3V – it's also on Soundcloud at snd.sc/YAGTwq. “Greedy Little Heart”, is a dramatic, synth-laden number with a grand chorus, calling to mind the big 80s sound of the likes of Simple Minds, with a dash of Nick Cave, too.
Alec Baldwin asks the questions
Over the past 18 months actor Alec Baldwin has been quietly building up a profile as a radio interviewer. Baldwin fronts the fortnightly show Here's the Thing on New York public radio station WNYC, sitting down for extensive interviews with various public figures. Recent guests have included Jill Abramson, Judd Apatow and Lena Dunham. In the latest episode he sat down for an enjoyably frank and free-flowing discussion with Radiohead and, more recently, Atoms for Peace frontman, Thom Yorke. Hear it at wnyc.org/shows/heresthething.
