Belle and Sebastian work together with streetwear imprint Brain Dead on a new collection of exclusive t-shirts that are designed with bright graphics detailing the base. There are three tees that drop-in celebration of the iconic Scottish indie band. The first graphic tee spotlights the band's recent show in Los Angeles at The Greek Theater.
Its nods to the title of the latest album in an aesthetic of tour tees from the 90s. The base foundation of the tees rests upon an off-white neutral hue and is inspired by the band's lighthearted lyrics. The uplifting tones are the energy that the designs are meant to embody. The back of the shirt has a reference to Brain Dead Studios Harajuku
