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.There's an awful lot of music crammed into Plumb's 35 minutes, but it's rarely organised into the most attractive shapes – and on the few occasions it is, they alter course within seconds and head off in some less appealing direction.
"Start the Day Right" opens the album with sunrise strings and twinkling keyboard details, but 40 seconds in, that's abandoned for the emptily circuitous prog riffing and serpentine vocals that characterise the core Field Music style. It's like Supertramp, but not super. The best tracks are all too short: the piano and dulcimer miniature "Prelude to Pilgrim Street", the a cappella cameo "How Many More Times?" and the tiny evocation of loneliness "Ce Soir". But they don't seem to know how to develop these ideas without crowding them with others.
