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.

Kaki King is a guitarist's guitarist. She's won a Golden Globe for film soundtracks, collaborated with the Cure, and been named a "guitar god" by Rolling Stone, the first female to receive this accolade.

Her fifth full album displays none of the show-off tendencies you'd expect from, say, a Satriani or a Vai. King's restraint is commendable, using her skills to create interesting sonics rather than pointless pyrotechnics, with touches of shoegaze and deceptively conventional college-rock songwriting which is invariably disrupted and reshaped.
