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.

The Magic Numbers

Co-headlining this tour with the very complimentary Hal from Ireland (who have a single out now on Rough Trade), , a hirsute boy-girl quartet based in London and signed to Heavenly Records, look set to be one of the breakthrough acts of the year. And, indeed, in among the artpunk and lad-rock obsessed bands currently clogging up the London scene, they're a breath of fresh air, plying dreamy tunes that meld country rock and folk with a smidgen of jazzy vibes. Their trump card is a line in beautifully constructed harmonies, one of the main reasons why their live tickets are so sought after.
