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.

Knowing, worldly, delicate but mordant pop born out of wisdom, mostly, and the desire to share it.

Dore's voice is small, pearly and oddly timeless – the Hopper etching on the cover is from 1922 – and her songs consider life in all its cheapskatery and riches. The sound is a sophisticated acoustic chamber-pop with vintage-jazzy overtones. Song titles are a clue to everything: "Cleaning Out my House", "His Wife", "The Last Laugh". Domestic music which deserves to find its way into more homes.
