Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Lana Del Rey
Carmen
Dominated by the same glamour that drove "Video Games", "Carmen" finds Del Rey on fantastic form – from its sultry lyrics to its barely there hip-hop beat.
The Flaming Lips feat. Erykah Badu
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
A powerful, ultra-slow take on the old folk song. Dark, brooding and atmospheric.
John Cale
Perfection (Actress' Reflection Mix)
Actress remix the former Velvet Underground man to perfection. Arty, abstract and industrial.
Beck
Corrina, Corrina
A gentle reworking of the 1928 folk-blues ballad. The crackle in Beck's voice is heartbreaking.
Saint Etienne
Answer Song
The indie veterans dabble in 1990s pop on this slick new single.
St Vincent
Krokodil
A heavy fuzz-punk track containing all the ruthless brutality of the street drug it is named after.
Sonny & the Sunsets
Pretend You Love Me
This country-tinged ballad is reminiscent of early-1970s Dylan, or a less tortured Townes Van Zandt.
LA Vampires feat. Octo Octa
Wherever, Boy
Octo's synths dominate on this trippy house track.
