Episode 208 with Sheppard

The group chats about their new album and recent move to the States

Australian indie pop group Sheppard has returned with Zora, its fourth studio album, available now via Universal Music Group. The highly-anticipated project sees siblings Amy, Emma, and George Sheppard sharing their thoughts during uncertain times.

“We started writing it pretty much the day after we released Kaleidoscope Eyes,” George says of the group’s third album released during COVID. “We sorta started channeling those frustrations into a new album. We just kinda got back to work and a lot of this album was out of trying to give ourselves some hope of what was to come.”

The album was written in Brisbane, LA, and Stockholm and is dedicated to their grandmother Zora.

The project is available on CD, and a limited edition double yellow vinyl and cassette.

The trio recently relocated to Nashville from their native Australia. They chat with Matt Bailey at a recent tour stop in Washington, DC about the project and how the move has affected their career.
