Everyone Wants To Dream [LP]

Professor Yaffle - Everyone Wants To Dream [LP]

Essential Liverpool psychedelic folk collective mapping their territory with a record rooted in place and memory. Professor Yaffle have created their most focused and expansive work yet. Following acclaimed previous releases, Everyone Wants to Dream finds the band at their creative peak. The album turns on Everton Brow -- an unremarkable Liverpool hill offering the city's finest view. Rogers returns to this vantage point throughout eight tracks, using it as both setting and metaphor for looking back on life without nostalgia. From here, you can see the Mersey stretch toward Snowdonia, the city spread below like a living map. "Lost in a Dream (On Everton Brow)" weaves Lee Roger's lyrics as an eighteen-year-old lyrics with newly composed music. "Everyone Wants to Dream" confronts the disorientation when your children grow and your role shifts. "On Top of the World" becomes what Rogers calls "a stoned love letter to Liverpool." This is Professor Yaffle's first release with Violette Records, marking the beginning of a partnership between two Liverpool entities who've circled each other for years before finding their moment. Featuring a 1979 Karl Hughes photograph of a policeman surveying Liverpool from Everton Brow, capturing something essential about the record: that those who maintain order might dream the biggest dreams of all.
