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.

Foals have announced two new albums to be released this year, both titled Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost (parts one and two).

Releasing a cryptic teaser video (directed by Albert Moya), the band announced that the first part of their fifth album will be released on 8 March, while the second will arrive later this year.

Foals’ previous album, What Went Down, came out in 2015. Last year they parted ways with longtime bassist Walter Gervers.

“The parting has been sad but we remain firm friends,” they wrote in a statement.

Frontman Yannis Philippakis told NME in 2017 that the current state of the world had made its way into the band's new material.

"I think the world is obviously affecting the way we feel as individuals," he said. "I definitely feel that when I'm writing lyrics or music, that it's in dialogue with what's going on around me in isolation – so I'm sure there will be things in the lyrics to do with, not just the political climate but also the environmental situation that's happening now."
