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.We Are the Lilies came about when Parisian David Sztanke sent a CD by his band Tahiti Boy & The Palmtree Family to Sergio Dias, the leader of Brazilian Tropicalismo legends Os Mutantes.
A year later, they collaborated on this dizzying outburst of experimental rococo pop, in which Dias's renegade psychedelic leanings find oddly comfortable lodging in The Palmtree Family's lush musical settings. At times, there are simply too many twists and turns of style to get a firm grasp on a song; but there's such a persuasive joy in sheer sound that one can't help but smile. "Over My Head" recalls the whimsical pop charm of hippie acts like Caravan, while the blending of guitar drones and searing sax in "Meninas De Paris" bears out the lyrical claim that "all this beauty has exhausted me".
