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 success of the 'Juno' soundtrack stateside (No 1 as I write this) has got me thinking about music and movies. Not since, perhaps, Julee Cruise's work for David Lynch has a film and its music so perfectly matched. And what has this to do with the Cave Singers? Well, only in that the best way I can think to describe the sound of this Seattle three-piece is as the accompaniment to the film the Coen brothers might make next. It's a progressive/retro approach that has been done before (Grandaddy, Midlake, et al), but rarely with this level of stripped down and simple panache.
