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
Before We Run
Yo La Tengo seem intent on making constant reinvention their thing. This song, led by warm trumpets and strings, continues the band's journey into unexplored territory.
Melody's Echo Chamber
Quand Vas Tu Rentrer?
Classically trained French musician Melody Prochet's latest project mixes sensual dream-pop with quirky shoegaze.
Featureless Ghost
Flash
Smart-production dominates this minimalist dance track. There are moments of synth-pop in there too and a compelling analogue/digital soundclash.
The Mary Onettes
Evil Coast
Putting out only three LPs in 13 years raises expectations somewhat, but this Swedish indie-pop band rarely disappoints.
The History of Apple Pie
Glitch
The London five-piece clearly owe a large debt to late-80s/early-90s grunge – particularly on this Dinosaur Jr-inspired fuzz-pedal-fest.
Dutch Uncles
Fester
The Manchester band returns with a refreshingly intellectual approach to merging guitar-based indie-pop with electronic dance. Kasabian it isn't.
Jim James
Know Til Now
James's rich-but-distant vocal gives a poignant quality to this spacey, psychedelic soul track.
