This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

An album of original material by the NYC posse best known for their skankifications of the rock canon.
It's as if they've taken their fancy-dress costumes off and come as themselves. How do they look? Like a supra-competent, glossy roots band with an ear for a melody. Late-period Matumbi spring to mind. Tricky. If this were 1979, we'd be welcoming a new addition to the rootsical middle ground; in 2011, it's as if they've shown up after the party's over. Talented though.
