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.
Just six months on from the excellent Blakroc – on which the Keys backed hip-hoppers Mos Def, Ludacris and the like – the next move for the former White Stripes wannabes was always going to be crucial.
And that urgency is palpable here. Experimental, dirty blues, played with passion and purpose; Brothers is proof that funky lessons have been learnt and business is refreshed rather than resumed. Just six months on from showing us how far they'd come, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney give us a glimpse of how far they can still go.
