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 Cincinnatti-based multi-instrumentalist Brian Olive reveals a deep affection for British psych-rock on this solo debut.
With Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys co-producing, Olive has captured the flavour of 1960s Brit-blues on the cusp of spreading into druggier, more exploratory areas. There is a psychedelic glint to the guitar break in "Left Side Rock", while riffing sax and keyboards on "You Can't Hide It" come straight from Traffic's second album and elsewhere flute, reeds and percussion evoke Ladbroke Grove hippiedom. However, Olive also builds weird transatlantic bridges with "Strange Attracter", where deep, burring horns and piano stomp combine with wheedling noise, like a bagpipe groove played by The Velvet Underground. Bizarre but intoxicating.
