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.

After making his fortune turning samples of blues records into a soundtrack for a million computer ads, bald vegan god-botherer Moby has fallen back in love with dance music.

'Last Night' has its moments, and they're usually when he reveals his sense of fun. The samples are from disco and soul, and the not-quite-cutting-edge, not-quite-old-fashioned-enough-to-be-retro electronic backing complements them well. The finest example is "Disco Lies", which sounds like a long-lost Odyssey/Depeche Mode collaboration. "I See the Stars", on the other hand, might as well be an outtake from 'Play'.

Pick of the Album: Dance till the monster comes: 'Disco Lies'
