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.Young Cajun garage-rockers Mama Rosin have found their perfect producer in Jon Spencer: an alliance of primitivist spirits keen to keep a roots music-form out of the museum, much as with Spencer's earlier work with bluesman RL Burnside.
Tracks like "Marilou" and "Sorry Ti Monde" are awash in pumping accordion and splashy cymbals, chased by what sounds like the wailing of ghostly banshees. But it's a pliable, adaptable sound: with its banjo and guitar, "Seco E Molhado" has a rolling, Western groove, while "Mama Don't" occupies psycho-blues territory so familiar to Spencer. The songs cover a broad range, from the BP oil-spill disaster to tributes to Leonard Cohen and, less explicably, Wivenhoe in Essex.
