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.

They claim not to be retro-modernist, in which case one can only admire them for their postmodernist attitude towards retrospection.

Yet it remains the case that were it not for San Francisco in 1965/6, Krautrock in the 1970s and the pick'n'mix aesthetic which has governed clever pop for the past 15 years, then the Soundcarriers would probably sound quite different. Though not heavy metal. Whether you approve their deliberate, fey, drifting, cinematic songcraft is entirely up to you and your monkey, of course.
