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.

Australia has been steadily emerging as a powerhouse of electronic pop, and Cut Copy are at the forefront with 'In Ghost Colours', a record which with every listen climbs higher up my Albums of the Year list.

The Melbourne trio deal in serene and glacial future-pop with a vulnerable human voice, sparingly deployed vocoders and washes of watercolour synths. Their third album, recorded with DFA producer Tim Goldsworthy, is layered and dreamy, recalling the Avalanches-meets-Flaming Lips one moment, or Visage-meets-the Human League the next. A thing of crystalline beauty.

Pick of the Album: The title tells you everything: 'Voices In Quartz'
