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.

With Wed 21, Argentine singer/actress Juana Molina delivers the most satisfying realisation of her Latin-tinged folktronica style. Opener “Eras” sets the tone, its woozy pulse and cymbal shimmer joined by a guitar part which seems to regard the rest of the melody askance. “Wed 21” is an infectious groove, Molina's gentle Spanish vocal hovering warmly. , “Ferocisimo” offers a sort of Tropicália psych-rock, while “Lo Decidi Yo” finds delicate guitar lines profitably sabotaged by electronic buzzes and rolling drums. Fascinating, enjoyable and original.
