Yip Man: Braw Power

Yip Man, alter ego of Al Nero can make sarcasm sound like fun. Formerly the leader of underground indie favourites Le Reno Amp he founded a record label, Armellodie Records, before dropping all things for a lengthy sojourn in China. Now he is back with his first solo full-length, Braw Power.

Back in the day, when musicians had traveled East, they came back with huge stories about enlightenment and/or new sounds that they would be using in their music. Nero does none of that, but sticks to his forte: writing catchy guitar tunes with acerbic lyrics, not excluding himself in the process when he describes himself as a Skinny White Ghost. Everyone's at fault and falls over in their half-hearted efforts to make it, so why not have a good laugh about it. Recommended if you like The Jam and Pavement.
