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.

The second album by The Bookhouse Boys – the nonet named after a shady cabal in Twin Peaks – is a romantic and dramatic entity, which sounds at times like Divine Comedy pitched into the middle of the Crimean War.

With Paul Van Oestren and Catherine Turner alternating lead vocals but violinist Johnny Flynn stealing the show, this is a dark and beguiling maelstrom of orchestral pop, flamenco folk and spaghetti-western twang which leaves you wanting more.
