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.

Orbital ft Zola Jesus

New France

The duo's first LP in eight years is out in April. If this Zola Jesus collab is anything to go by, expect plenty of characteristically epic dance.

D'Angelo

Left & Right (Harmonimix Remix)

James Blake has been a fan of the R&B star for a while, but this is the BBC Sound of 2011 runner-up's first attempt at working with his music.

Here We Go Magic

Make Up Your Mind

Quirky, ska-driven indie-pop produced by Radiohead confidant Nigel Godrich. Perfect for a summer festival.

Jamie xx

Touch Me

Premiered during Young Turks' guest-host spot on Australia's FBi Radio, this track sees Jamie xx continue to experiment with world music.

Deerhunter

Curve

A majestically downbeat six-minute instrumental, taken from Blonde Redhead's Japan Tsunami benefit compilation.

Willis Earl Beal

Take Me Away

Billing himself as "the black Tom Waits", Beal's highly percussive, thunder-voiced take on delta blues is magnificent.

THEESatisfaction

QueenS

Soulful synth-pop packed with playfully corny spoken-word lines like "let the musicians be your physicians."

Lil Durk ft King Louie

I Get Paid

A tinny, skittish beat from producer Fya Starta helps to drive Durk and Louie's cocky but minimalist raps forward.

Shlohmo

wen uuu (Salva Remix)

An early release from 'Mo's hotly tipped 12'' remix EP.
