Sheppard - Kaleidoscope Eyes

Kaleidescope Eyes is the third studio album by Australian indie pop band Sheppard, released in February 2021 via Empire Of Song.

In February 2020, the band announced they would release a new single every month of 2020, leading to a new studio album late in 2020. George Sheppard said "Our forthcoming album isn't necessarily a concept album, but there's definitely a cohesive theme running throughout the songs and a linear narrative that I hope people are able to piece together as the year goes on and the album grows”.

In October 2020, the band confirmed the title of the project as Kaleidoscope Eyes, with George Sheppard saying "Somewhere along the album's journey, I became obsessed with the idea of a kaleidoscope. To most people it might just be a tube with pretty shards of glass, but to us it represented so much more."

Amy Sheppard added "Each time you look into a kaleidoscope, you are looking at something in a new light. It's often bittersweet, because the slightest change can shift the entire picture forever. On the other hand, if you continue to tumble, you'll eventually find new beauty in a different arrangement of the same pieces. It's a strangely beautiful metaphor for love and how the world seems much brighter when youre in love. That message has managed to wind its way throughout the entire record."

“Kaleidoscope Eyes is an album dedicated to the wonders of love, in every form. With love, the world is a more colourful place. Spread it, make it, give it, feel it, appreciate it, and do your best not to lose it.” - George Sheppard

The album contains the twelve songs released up to December 2020 and another four tracks, making it a generous sixteen songs on the album.

This album is a limited edition on pink coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a fold out poster, pressed in Australia via Empire Of Song.
