Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

As their work with the Bad Seeds and Grinderman has turned increasingly visceral, Cave and Ellis have given an outlet to their contemplative sides by composing soundtracks.

White Lunar collects scores for films including The Assassination of Jesse James... and The English Surgeon. Incidental music inevitably dominates, but "The Rider Song" (from The Proposition) is a song worthy of any Cave album, while disc two's dissonant hidden track sounds like something he might have knocked up with old buddy Blixa.
