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.

Not a new Keane album per se, although at eight tracks, one wonders why they didn't make it official.

In any case, Night Train sees Tim Rice-Oxley & co cement their claim to being the TV-advertised daytime radio band it's kind of OK to like. Taking in electro-prog, synth rock, sugary pop and even R&B, with rapper K'Naan on two tracks and Japanese vocalist Tigarah on another, plus cheeky steals from Kim Wilde's "View from a Bridge", it stretches the Keane remit, even if it does end with a stereotypical piano ballad to reassure the faithful.
