Black short-sleeve tee in a slightly heavier-than-average cotton-synth blend, with a screen-printed design on the chest: a stylized skyline half-submerged in abstract water, rendered in white and electric teal. On the back, a list of cities and dates from the 2197 Drowned City tour — including two that were cancelled mid-run after a venue shutdown in the southern arc. The print has a slightly cracked, worn texture even on new shirts, which is either an aesthetic choice or a cost-cutting measure depending on who you ask.

Groundswell is a noise-ambient band out of the lower Shelf, known for shows that run too long, sound systems that border on damaging, and lyrics that are more felt than understood. The tour tee has become something of a marker in certain circles — people who were actually at the shows wear them differently than people who bought them after. Both groups exist, and both are legitimate.
