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.You have to admire the sheer originality of "pop's new Picassos" (NME).
Because while EE sound in snatches like ELO, 10cc and XTC, what this four-piece have really gone and done is melded the art-rock smartness of Franz Ferdinand to the student-disco floor-filling sound of, say, Scissor Sisters. It's all very clever-clever and in a world of Kasabian that must be applauded. A little too sure of their own ingenuity? Perhaps. A tad too willing to fly into falsetto? For sure. But as debut albums go, this is mightily impressive.
