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.

Retro groups aren't meant to develop, messing with the formula at their peril. For their fourth album, Australia's premier funk'n'soul merchants risk Ask the Family-style raga and 1960s film references which don't really work, while the old-style instrumentals sound a little by rote.

What's best is the pop-soul of proper songs featuring the impressive Kylie Auldist, whose own Made of Stone album is well worth hearing. Here, the three track sequence of "Never Be the Girl", "Like Tears in Rain" and "Keep Me in Mind" stands out a mile.
