They formed in 2002 as a trio of singer-songwriter Greg Weeks, Meg Baird and Brooke Sietinsons but later expanded to a sextet including Otto Hauser, Helena Espvall and Chris Smith. Their music is reminiscent of late-sixties British folk such as that of Fairport Convention, Pentangle and The Incredible String Band as well as many contemporary folk acts such as Six Organs of Admittance, Marissa Nadler and Nick Castro and as such their work is often lumped in with the so-called New Weird America movement or naturalismo as Devendra Banhart preferred to coin it in 2006. Most of the band's members have also featured on recordings by a number of other folk artists, old and new, such as Nick Castro and Vashti Bunyan and as a result have become an important part of the psych-folk revival.
They released their self-titled debut, "Espers", in 2004 to much acclaim and followed that with an album of cover songs, "The Weed Tree", in 2005. This release featured the band's versions of songs by artists as diverse as Nico, The Durutti Column and Blue Oyster Cult. In 2006 the band released their third full-length "Espers II" on Drag City Records.
Their fourth album, "Espers III", was released on October 20, 2009.

I hadn't heard this band before. Great stuff! Thanks for the introduction to their music. At times the riffs remind me of Wishbone Ash 'Argus', which I love. Real nice one, man.
Melinda Stevenson
I really like this band and this song. I sure wish there were more bands like this. thanks for posting!
Christopher Smith
Brilliant! One of my favourite records and it gets heavy rotation. A fine record that deserves to be heard.
David Duncan
Underrated and unappreciated band. Maybe if they were around 50 years ago they would have gotten more love and recognition.

I can't express how grateful I am to this masterpiece of a band. They inspired me a lot in music, in ways in which go beyond musical style. Its the composition and delightful mix of tunes that made me realize the possibilities in music. I wish them the best and hope one day they are recognized for their amazing talent. soundcloud/theastrogenes thats my band, for anybody interested. Expect the rock of the future. amen.
