Sample Stream of Espers (the album)
Sample Stream of The Weed Tree
A thick medieval forest, Robin Hood is long since hung, the merry men dismantled and scattered. However, flute, guitars, cello and bells remain. Someone is there to play and sing, but not for the poor – this time the receiving end is the ghosts of dwellers forgotten, and well, anyone else in a haunted mood.
There is something very old in the Espers’ songs, but as the case is with all soothsaying, the future is touched. “Soft voices rendered in perfection”, spaces filled with guitar magic, both black and white. Occasionally exploding in a manner reminding of folk transcendence.
“Beside this tree of oak and moss most innocently
The sedentary song describes our willingness to lie”
Start your journey to a land of cloaks, hearts and daggers with “voices” or “meadows” and see how deep you are willing to follow. For more apocalyptic nature talk to the “Dead king”, and if you feel strong enough after that (or not weak enough) consult the “Dead queen” – she may hurt you, but will not leave you indifferent.
“In softness as in stone we find regrettably
The solitary song describes our willingness to die”
Scatter some berries on your path inside.
