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.

Girls

My Ma

The San Francisco indie kids turn their hand to classic-rock balladeering on this George Harrison-influenced paean to singer Chris Owens' mother.

Belle & Sebastian

Crash

A cute, fragile cover of The Primitives' 1988 hit, taken from B&S's second contribution to the compilation album series "Late Night Tales".

Death Grips

Get Got

Setting aside the sluggish murder-rap that made their name, Death Grips are now experimenting with upbeat, electro-infused hip-hop.

Katy B

Witches Brew (Diplo Remix)

The ultra-hip producer turns this somewhat lightweight Katy B album track into a full-throttle electro-house blast.

Peace

Follow Baby

Swaggering rock'n'roll from Birmingham. Peace borrow all the best bits from Kasabian, Pixies and Primal Scream.

Bon Iver

Towers

As an album track, this has been knocking around for just under a year, but with a brand new video last week, it seems likely to be Bon's next single.

Sleigh Bells

Demons

Marilyn Manson-esque magic from the band's new album, 'Reign of Terror'.

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

Too Tough (St. Etienne Remix)

St. Etienne remix a song taken from the band's long-awaited Acid Reflex remix EP.

Die Hard

Nailed to the Cross

Afrobeat meets quirky folk on this debut album opener.
