几年前,费城一个名叫Esperhaus的住处里聚集了一批音乐人,随后有人陆续离开。留下来的人里有Greg Weeks、Meg Baird和Brooke Sietinsons3位唱作人,他们组了支乐队。在3人眼里,这乐队的组建如同后院野草地里长出的花一样珍贵,也是为了纪念Esperhaus,他们为它取名Espers。Espers的音乐充满迷幻民谣的调调,大部分是简单的吉他加上提琴或贝司等乐器,却活生生让人欲罢不能,尤其在乐器中伸展出一种慵懒麻醉的肆意,特别是乐曲中女声的搭配在神秘莫测的基调下契合地游走,极富High的升腾感。
Neo-psychedelic folk trio the Espers began appearing in the Philadelphia area in early 2002. With a core provided by singer/songwriter Greg Weeks, Meg Baird, and Brooke Sietinsons and rounded out by numerous collaborators, their heady blend of chamber rock, baroque pop, and late-'60s British folk won them a small but devoted following both locally and nationally. Their intoxicating self-titled debut arrived in 2004 on the Locust label. The EP Weed Tree, a collection of covers, traditional pieces, and originals, arrived in 2005, followed in 2006 by the full-length II.
