Brian Eno Takes On The Conservatives in Playful New Pop Song “Everything’s on the Up With the Tories”

British music producer Brian Eno just released a new song, “Everything’s on up With the Tories,” aimed at the British Conservative Party, known in the United Kingdom as Tories, according to Pitchfork. The timing of the release is not surprising, given that the UK general election will take place this upcoming Thursday, December 12th.

The song takes aim at the policies and views of the Tories, pointing out issues like the increase in income inequality, the privatization of healthcare, and the ongoing attempt to withdrawal from the European Union, also known as Brexit. Eno plans to donate the proceeds raised from the song to the homeless, according to his YouTube account.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
