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 first French act to sign to Domino, FATAM are a vehicle for the talents of one François Marry, a thirtysomething from Saintes near La Rochelle (via a spell in Bristol), and the palindromic E Volo Love is a roughly 50/50 Francophone/Anglophone album of gentle indie-pop jangle with echoes of Afropop, throughout which Marry sings in an appealingly weedy voice reminiscent of The Only Ones' Peter Perrett. One to listen to as the sun sets over la plage, your vintage bicycle lying beside you.
