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.

Sometimes unexpected combinations produce the most enjoyable results, as on this album from French swamp-funk genius Don Cavalli. Blessed with a psychedelic imagination and an earthy way with grooves, Cavalli sounds like Tony Joe White or JJ Cale transplanted to swinging '60s London, with electric sitar writhing through songs anchored by wah-wah guitar licks and backdropped by keening mellotron. Add in his latest oriental influence and the weirdly engaging result is both unique, and brilliant.
