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.
Gross Magic
Sweetest Touch
Hook-laden and fuzzy – this lead track from the 'Teen Jamz' EP suggests Sam McGarrigle could be Brighton's answer to Ariel Pink.
Lykke Li
Live on the Moon
Eat your heart out, Shangri-Las. The Swedish pop star does tragic 1960s-style pop ballads easily as well as the originals. Her slightly flat vocal adds a depth of naïve emotion.
Mabel Love
Hardened Face
Moody indie rock à la mid-period Arctic Monkeys. A fairly meat-and-potatoes affair, but catchy.
Stoosh ft. Suave Debonair
Fuck Me
Bubblegum pop isn't quite as subtle as it once was. Gone are the lush strings, innuendo and platitudes; it's all fairly literal sex talk these days.
Drive
No Feel
The spirit of the early 1990s is alive and well on this grungy indie-pop number.
Nicolas Jaar
Stay in Love
Chirpy upbeat house. Jaar has been around a while but his recent Glastonbury show was a real coming-of-age.
Seams
Focus Energy
A heavily condensed piano sample and thin, repetitive beat drive this near-perfect, lo-fi dance track.
Lapalux
And Then End
This is about as dark as electro-pop gets. Inspired by the death of a bird and packed with atmospherics.
Disclosure
Just Your Type
Croydon-based teens making minimal 2-step garage.
