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.Three years ago, Daniel Blumberg and Max Bloom were recording tracks for Cajun Dance Party's splendid The Colourful Life in between sitting their A-levels.
With CDP unaccountably failing to capture the public's imagination, they've now moved on to form Yuck, whose unappetising name conceals music that squares a most unusual circle, in rendering joyous a blend of grungey riffs, shoegazey drones and keening guitar hooks. The secret is their infallible way with a tune: tracks such as "Get Away" and the single "Georgia" possess a beguiling melodic charm that illuminates the lo-fi boy/girl vocal delivery of Blumberg and his sister Ilana, bringing uplift where once all might have been gloom. In their lighter, more winsome moments, the gentle arpeggiations and harmonies of "Shook Down" and "Suicide Policeman" recall Teenage Fanclub.
