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.
Laura Marling
Rambling Man
A BRIT winner now at just 21, this is a highlight from the folk star's exceptional second album, 'I Speak Because I Can'.
Yuck
Holding Out
Grunge guitars and sing-along choruses – Yuck grab you by the ears and drag you back to the 1990s. In a good way.
Natasha Khan
Strangelove
Don't be put off by the fact this will soon soundtrack a perfume ad. Khan, aka Bat for Lashes turns this Depeche Mode song into a sexy, ethereal slice of musical goodness.
Of Montreal
Coquet Coquette
Distorted guitars ensure OM's trademark sleazy glamour infuses this track. The first single from their overlooked 2010 album, 'False Priests'.
Injury Sheets
Floorboards
An understated offering. The Memphis-based band make gentle, tinny indie pop with a hint of Pavement. Awkward, but endearingly so.
Architecture in Helsinki
Contact High
Perfectly imperfect pop. Contact High moves away from AiH's trad-indie towards a more overtly electro sound.
DieAntwoord Vs Enya
Orinoco Ninja Flow (Wedding DJs remix)
This utterly insane reworking of Enya's 1990s hit comes all the way from South Africa.
The Monkees
Steppin' Stone
Re-listening to this great Paul Revere cover (almost) makes the reunion sound appealing.
Koreless
Up Down Up Down
Watch your back James Blake, there's a new minimalist dubstep star on the scene.
