THE IoS PLAYLIST; THE FIVE BEST SOUNDS OF THE MOMENT
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.Jonathan Richman: You Must Ask the Heart (Rounder, CD/LP). Rejoice! Rejoice! A whole new album of Richman magic! Like tasting ice-cream for the first time. NB
PJ Harvey: C'mon Billy (Island, single). With a tale of possession, obsession and submission, the best performer at Glastonbury '95 gets all romantic. NB
U Roy - Original DJ (Virgin, CD). Put the kettle on and throw the cat out of the window, the summer nights are drawing in. Ben Thompson
Joy Division: Permanent (London, CD/LP/tape). Solemn phosphorescence: ideal for the idle thrill-seeker as well as the lonely and lost. BT
Charlie Haden and Hank Jones: Steal Away (Verve, CD). Wholly delightful bass and piano reworkings of spirituals, protest songs and campfire favourites. Phil Johnson
