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.

Grizzly Bear - Yet Again

The second single from Grizzly Bear's forthcoming fourth album, 'Shields'. Ed Droste croons his way through this smart, understated track.

Elliott Smith - Alameda (Alternate Version)

Smith's (above) former label Kill Rock Stars is releasing a selection of rare, unreleased tracks to mark what would have been his 43rd birthday. "Alameda", recorded during the 'Either/Or' sessions, is our first taste.

Wavves - Hippies Is Punks

Nathan Williams returns to snotty grunge punk for this 'Adult Swim Singles Series' track after dabbling with instrumental electronica on his Sweet Valley project.

Bob Mould - The Descent

The former Husker Dü member continues to produce the kind of vivacious pop punk that Green Day built their career on.

My Morning Jacket - Outta My System (Washed Out Remix)

Washed Out add their blissful fuzz-pop to My Morning Jacket's forthcoming EP of friends' remixes of their single.

John Cale - I Wanna Talk 2 U

Kooky but surprisingly unabrasive indie pop from the former Velvet Underground cellist.

King Dude - Jesus in the Courtyard

Doom-laden country blues packed with disorientating guitar effects and foreboding vocals.
