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.

What Is It?

The new - fourth - album from the band who were Britpop long before anyone had heard of Blur and Oasis. Their 1994 album, Dog Man Star, did as much as anything to set the whole Britpop bandwagon rolling.

How Are They Keeping?

Surprisingly well, after a decade in the drugs'n'rock'n'roll business. Founder member Bernard Butler has long since gone solo, but singer/songwriter Brett Anderson and company are doing fine without him.

What They Say About It

"It's not an obvious route for them to take, but one that brings a welcome touch of truly street-level humanity to Suede's more fancifully romantic notions of life on `the street'," Andy Gill, The Independent.

"It's sex, it's drugs, it's suburban ennui, it's frequently hilarious, but that probably isn't the intention," Ted Kessler, NME.

"There's nothing more entertaining than a band treading a line between genius and absolute nonsense. Safe ground is for wimps. Brett Anderson is out there, walking among the creative landmines," Laura Lee Davies, Time Out

Where You Can Get It

Head Music is released on Nude Records.
