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.

Wolf by name, sheep by nature, 24-year-old Max McElligott is the latest hot tip to fall at the first hurdle.

A baroque-popster rather obviously in thrall to both Mika's campiness and MGMT's synthery, his debut coasts along on some vaguely psychedelic vibrations and lithe melodies, with the "Kids"-ish "Lions in Cages" a highlight. But his falsetto is earnestly inexpressive, the wide-eyed lyrics cloying and there's nothing here to frighten the supermarket aisles.
