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.

The first secret of any great party is the guests,and James Ford's choiceof invitees on the second SMD album is inspired.

"Cream Dream" features the gorgeous tones ofGruff Rhys (Super FurryAnimals), while The Gossip's Beth Dittolends her unmistakablevoice to "CruelIntentions". Some of thelesser names (notably Telepathe on the closing "Pinball") are equally well chosen. The second secret of a great party isthe soundtrack, and TPis a uniformly exuberant electro-dance experience from start to end.
