Cock Of The North

Armellodie Records is proud to present Cock of the North, the new album from Yip Man or as oft referred, Yip Man of Scotland. Yip Man is one Al Nero and Cock of the North continues his escapades of joyful abandon, with the pervasive sense of fun that Nero has been channeling since his debut album, 2016s Braw Power, and follow up, Pure, Zen Ken?, in 2019. Yip Mans talent for hooks and ability to sculpt complex rhythm and harmony into digestible chunks of unashamed pop is his herculean strength. Not least on Cock of the Norths three glorious singles, Evil Doppelgnger, Whats Your Secret? and Dangling Carrots. Three albums in, Nero is a well-seasoned songwriter and Cock of the North is further evidence that this is Yip Man at the top of his game; stuffed full of structural twists and turns, razor-sharp riffs, and deeply satisfying choruses. Be advised to spend some time in Yip Mans world, a glorious mix of pathos, empathy, tragicomedy and, importantly, fun.
