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.
Azealia Banks
212
The perfect showcase of the 'NME' Cool List winner's talents. Whether rapping profanely or singing in a rich soul voice over heavy rave beats, Ms Banks is as gifted as she is cocky.
Radiohead
Bloom (Jamie xx Rework Part 3)
Jamie Smith is the star here, reworking the 'King of Limbs' track for a second (not third) time. Eight minutes of dark techno, this is head and shoulders above his previous effort.
Citizens
True Romance
Produced by Alex Kapranos, Citizens' chirpy, childlike debut single will be released in December.
Twerps
Coast to Coast
Breezy, romantic, indie-pop rock'n'roll. A great example of how effective an unfussy melody can be.
John Maus
Hey Moon
Lethargic dream-pop packed with sparkling synths and a great repetitive piano riff.
M83
Midnight City
Epic, glamorous electro-pop that's set to soundtrack 2012.
Keaton Henson
You Don't Know How Lucky You Are
Traditional stripped-down acoustic folk given a modern twist by the brittle-voiced 23-year-old's surrealist lyrics.
Dreams
Make It Right
Sitting somewhere between retro electro and jittery 'chillwave', this is an incredibly disorientating track.
Gabriel Bruce
Sleep Paralysis
An innovative soundscape inspired by the sleep disorder.
