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.
Four Tet
Jupiters
A gorgeously, downbeat keyboard intro gives way to a thumping bass-led beat.
Animal Collective
Honeycomb
The experimental indie band's latest single is typically eccentric. African rhythms are saturated in squelchy keys, and a bruised vocal filtered through a water effect.
Beach House
Troublemaker
From their new album, 'Bloom', streamed exclusively on Independent.co.uk last week, this is pure melancholy – all Smiths guitars and warm synths.
2:54
Creeping
One of the most blogged-about tracks this week. 2:54 prepare for their forthcoming support slots with The xx by releasing this moody Alan Moulder-produced number.
CocoRosie
We Are On Fire
The new single by the Parisian sisters is full of oddball folk melodies and hip-hop beats.
Drake ft. The Weeknd
Crew Love (Star Slinger Remix)
Stripping the melodrama and the more ridiculous lyrics, Star Slinger breathes new life into Drake's hit.
The Walkmen
We Can't Be Beat
Yet another pre-release from The Walkmen's forthcoming album, 'Heaven'. 'We Can't Be Beat' is rooted in classic songwriting, and dripping in 1970s folk harmonies and gentle acoustic riffs.
