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.

Without the assistance of Jack White – who produced their "Gastown / River Song" single in 2009 – the as-gorgeous-sounding-as-they-are-to-look-at duo of Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies threaten to stray into Enya territory.

That they don't is down to the hypnotically compelling nature of their material. Rather better than most of the fake folk currently wowing those who know no better, Smoke Fairies are a very British take on the Indigo Girls' close harmonies and spooky melodies. A close to fine debut.
