"We're big fans of Alisson's music, with some of his past music videos featuring elements in line with SNK ATK's aesthetic and attitude" said Psalm Alfafara, Creative Director and Principal Designer of SNK ATK Design Lab. "I had deep conversations with Alisson about his motivations for using the Garuda from Hindu mythology as a symbol for this album," Psalm describes. "With concept firmly in mind, we tapped Sketchole for the winged Alisson illustration and incorporated that into my graphic designs for the t-shirt and tote. I also designed the silhouette of the oversized shirt to fit with Alisson's own personal style."
According to Alisson Shore, “GARUDA represents “wings”, and this album is a vehicle for my music taking flight and reaching new heights as I create bigger and better experiences. This collab with SNK ATK is another way for me to explore new possibilities, as we create products that allow my fans to own a piece of the album, and by extension a piece of me.”
The official GARUDA merch collab with SNK ATK is a limited edition collection and will be available for purchase on December 3, 2021 at 9:00pm via https://snkatk.co and Lazada. To listen to the GARUDA album, listen here.
