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.

Australian duo DCD, much loved by 1980s goths and as closely associated with the 4AD aesthetic as the Cocteau Twins, haven't made an album since 1996.

"Anastasis" is the Greek word for "resurrection", but stasis is closer to the truth. It's business as usual for Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. They split the vocals approximately 50/50, and Gerrard's habit of singing in ancient tongues maintains her mystique. Perry's problem is that you can understand what he's saying.
