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.

Ah, the hubris of the early Noughties, when punk-funk revivalists were so confident the moment was theirs they didn't even bother having proper names.

!!! ("chk-chk-chk") were always a bit of a poor man's LCD Soundsystem, so it comes as a shock to find they've matured enough to deliver a record like Strange Weather, on which synths wash prettily over Nic Offer's worldly widsom, delivered in a Gil Scott-Heron drawl. For a band you'd completely forgotten about, it's surprisingly memorable.
