Espers is the self-titled debut studio album by the band Espers. It was released in 2004 on Locust Music. The album was produced by the group's original trio and establishes their contemporary psychedelic folk sound.

Hartley Goldstein wrote for Pitchfork:

"...on Espers, Meg Baird's breathy vocals and Brooke Sietinsons' embellishments of finger cymbals, chimes, and harmonica add substantial depth to the hum. The album's sublime opener, "Flowery Noontide", bares testament to this; the track is a fingerpicked acoustic pageant, where Baird's lilting alto floats atop a din of interweaving flutes and somber string lines, while the ominous ring of an autoharp and chimes channel Donovan at his best. On "Meadow", Weeks' understated vocals and eerie lyrical imagery of "our willingness to die" are made all the more striking by Meg Baird's contrasting lullaby-like harmonies..."

Time for some psyche-folk stuff, now playing Espers' II. No doubt I'll follow it up with III. I should probably check out their first album at some point.

Listening to a bit of psychedelic folk this morning, I haven't listened to Espers in ages. Currently listening to their album 'II', which is their third album, weirdly. I'll probably end up listening to 'III' after, I usually do.
