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.The arrangements on Barry Adamson's latest album seem more restrained than usual, his jazz-noir ambitions trimmed to a blues-funk palette of bass and drum grooves carrying Hammond organ or piano parts, with just the occasional solo horn part.
It's as if he's decided to reveal the core of his musical character, rather than clothe it in cinematic costumery. Only "Trigger City Blues", with its descriptive bricolage of crashes, telephones and gunshots, pursues that familiar alleyway. Elsewhere, "Turnaround" and "Looking To Love Somebody" are shockingly romantic pop trifles, while crazy jazz piano evokes the desperation behind the fuzz-guitar motorik of "Destination", and the gritty guitar and organ of "I Will Set You Free" underscore its dubious promise: "Bring me your eyes, your plastic little lives, and I will set you free."
