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.
James Blake
Retrograde
Typically stripped down electronica. Blake embraces soul balladry throughout and, aside from a smart, ticking snare drum, avoids tech wizardry.
Mogwai
Wizard Motor
Taken from the band's soundtrack for French TV series “Les Revenants”, this is an emotionally heavy track dominated by the smooth synths and fuzzy guitars.
Sunless '97
Aurora I
The hype surrounding the group may have died down as guitar bands return to indie's main stage, but that's only meant Sunless '97 have grown more experimental.
Chvrches
Recover (Cid Rim remix)
This Recover remix pushes Chvrches into chilled-out dance territory (above).
Death Wolf
Death Wolf March
Black metal guitars abound as Marduk's Morgan “Evil” Hakansson embraces his commercial side.
Kurt Vile
Wakin on a Pretty Day
A sweet little ditty that sounds as bright and cheerful as its upbeat title. A country guitar adds a touch of modern folk-Americana.
