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.

Domestic soundtrack music. By which I mean music made at home (Menahan Street is in Brooklyn) with the scope, reach and exterior focus of a film soundtrack.

It's difficult to imagine what kind of film it is, though, which I take to be a good sign. What you get is an ensemble led by Thomas Brenneck (erstwhile Winehouse guitarist) majoring in horn melodies and slingy jazz-funking drums, operating at a decidedly "indie" level of dynamic excitement. In other words, you may enjoy it, but it won't excite you.

Pick of the album: 'Make the Road by Walking': music for fire hydrants
