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.Another ripple in the "third wave of psychedelia" washes in and what we appear to be left with is a bunch of guitar bands who owe more to shoegaze than any spirit of sonic invention.
There are woozily pleasant moments to be had (the Lea Shores, Nova Saints and Quarter After stand out), but where are the wig-outs, the jams, the experimentation? Never mind. Here is an entirely nebulous collection of melodic indie stuffed together under an ill-fitting banner. Compilation of the year for silly band names, though.
Pick of the album: The Quarter After's 'Early Morning Rider' is eerily authentic
