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.

Is this really a Groove Armada record?

It kicks off with clanging guitars and then features the strangulated yelps of Nick Littlemore (Empire of the Sun) on four tracks. This might not be to everyone's tastes, but it dispels Tom Findlay and Andy Cato's image as purveyors of easy-listening mush. Black Light is dominated by future-pop with the rough edges left in.

There's still room, though, for a Bryan Ferry star turn. GA are shaking off the curse of being endorsed by Tony Blair in considerable style.
