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.

Vespertine means "blooming or coming alive in the evening". In the great indoors, away from natural light, it's forever evening, and this album, by Björk's own admission, is "very much about being alone in your house". Partly recorded in a mountain hut in Iceland, it's constructed from found sounds (crunching snow, shuffling cards, etc), and only the most twinkling of instruments (harps, music boxes, clavichords). Bjork's voice will always provoke a love/hate response, but Vespertine is her most easily listenable album since Debut. SP
