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.Not really 'introducing' anyone this week, just some excellent new material from an artist I've admired for a while.
English singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt has put out several studio albums of his own and written for the likes of Lana del Rey and Ren Harvieu.
His latest work Furnaces was produced by Flood - we're premiering the beautiful session video for the first track of his new album - 'Dionysus' - which was filmed at Knebworth.
Check it out and let us know what you think.
Q&A with Ed Harcourt
What are you listening to at the moment?
I'm listening to JME, Skepta, Prince, Bowie, Mogwai & Frank Sinatra. Anything to lift me out of a perpetual end of days gloom.
What are your plans for summer?
To grace some stages with quiet rage and drink until the news goes away.
What was the first gig you ever played, and what’s been the best so far?
First ever gig was below a pizzeria and blow a harmonica badly. The best is yet to come!
Furnaces is out via Polydor on 19 August - pre-order here. He plays Village Underground in London on 21 September
