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.
Mumford and Sons
Babel
The folk superstars' second album's title track sets the pace for their next stage of tweed-coated world-domination.
------
Das Fluff
Hey You
A dark confessional about cyber-stalking from debut album 'Would You Die For Me', a compelling electro-pop rollercoaster featuring formidable frontwoman Dawn Lintern.
------
Beth Orton
Something More Beautiful
A gorgeous orchestral ballad, dripping in melancholia, from the folk star's tremendous new album, and first in six years, 'Sugaring Season'.
------
Porcelain Raft
Drifting In And Out
The single from New York artist Mauro Remiddi's debut album 'Strange Weekend' is a slice of typically melodious, dreamy, falsetto-driven synthpop.
------
Beans on Toast
Wave Goodbye to EMI
After EMI's takeover last week, it seems London pub-singer Jay McAllister might have had a crystal ball when he penned this 2009 tongue-in-cheek acoustic ditty.
