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.

They've always had an element of acid-streaked experimentalism in their work, but here it tends to drive out the more mainstream components: it's three long, swirling tracks – including the 12-minute "Baba O'Riley"/Krautrock-style synthesiser motorik of "Escape Velocity" – before the first bona fide big-beat rhythm slams in with the prog-tastic "Dissolve". Elsewhere, the cantering groove of "Horse Power" sounds familiar enough to have been cannibalised from an earlier Chemical cut, while the lightly scudding fizz of "K + D + B" suggests the first two letters may refer to mixmasters Kruder & Dorfmeister.
