TRUE DISPERSED HARMONY | Short-Sleeve Unisex T-Shirt

"Dispersed Harmony" is more than a term from the rudiments—it’s the wild, ringing texture that gives Sacred Harp its teeth. Ruth Denson Edwards called it “True Dispersed Harmony.” Alfred Marcus Cagle was its “unsurpassed authority.” And now, in the proud tradition of misunderstood American folk art, it's a band shirt.

This design plays off the deep resonance between Sacred Harp’s raw, open chords and the jagged sensibility of black metal. The Germans had a point when they said Sacred Harp is a cappella Heavy Metal.

Wear it as a wink, a signal, or a warning. Just don’t expect close harmony.
