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.

Yo La Tengo

Ohm

On their forthcoming album, 'Fade', YLT insisted they would ditch their prog-influenced songs and focus on less sprawling tracks. "Ohm" is a prime example of that shift.

------

A$AP Rocky

Long Live A$AP

Taken from his major label debut, "Long Live A$AP" is a slick update on the rapper's laid-back hip-hop.

------

Wavves

Sail to the Sun

Nathan Williams returns to his Wavves project after two releases under the Sweet Valley moniker. This track is taken from his forthcoming self-released LP and produced by Rihanna hit-maker John Hill.

------

London Grammer

Hey Now

Bass and organ throb throughout this track, forging a warm path through the otherwise icy atmospherics.

Don Adora'e AKA Sonny Smith

If You Don't Make a Change

Taken from the final volume of his 100 Records project, (in which he's created a raft of fictional characters) Smith here performs as protest singer Don Adora'e.
