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.
Four Tet Love Cry
Mr Hebden at his most upbeat, throwing down addictive, minimal techno with nods to acid-house.
Best Coast When I'm with You
Enough fuzzy guitars, Sixties girl-group harmonies and West Coast pop to make you feel wistful all day long.
Wale TV in the Radio
The Washington DC rapper collaborates with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek (get it?) and the Somalian rapper K'naan in a brilliant collage of hip-hop and Afrobeat.
Hot Chip Take It In
Their new LP doesn't arrive until early next year, but this first cut from it is a superior slice of electro-pop.
The Very Best featuring Kano Julia
Euro electro meets Malawian Afro-pop meets east London rap in a standout from their recent album.
Steve Reich Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices & Organ
The minimalist master performed something of a greatest hits show in London recently, but sadly this 17-minute wonder from 1973 didn't feature on the bill.
