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 Leisure Society's new album Alone Aboard The Ark is out on 1 April.

It was recorded at the North London Konk Studios of Kinks frontman Ray Davies- a long-time Leisure Society fan who also featured the band as part of his curation of last year's Meltdown Festival on the South Bank.

The album is informed variously by the suicide of Sylvia Plath (the haunting "The Sober Scent of Paper") and the London Olympics (see lead single "Fight For Everyone"), and was recorded on 2" tape and Konk's 70s mixing desk.
