{"product_id":"espers","title":"Espers","description":"\u003cp\u003eEspers, existing in between places, were a part of a flow of idealization that has as much to do with revelations from the 70s or 60s - with all the decades of the last century, really - as it does with the current expressions in favor of self- hood and safety that are struggled over today. Their music has retained a mysterious, unknowable vitality that, in the name of their original intention, continues to express Espers' individualism, optimism and deeply empathetic soul. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEspers' self-titled first release appeared in 2003, making new music that spoke strongly of folk traditions and psychedelia, in the process setting themselves apart from latter-day sounds and approaches.The staid harmonies of Meg Baird and Greg Weeks, the 6 and 12-string guitars and percussion of Brooke Sietinsons, the full-bodied arrangements rife with traditional and classical details and the regular intervention of acid-toned guitar leads formed, along with the mystic and melancholy cast to their songwriting, a galvanizing identity for them among other like-minded music players of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drag City","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50496472219979,"sku":"1085187","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/76ec3f5d-2602-4532-9fa0-72b68972af11_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727721219","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/espers","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
