The Sky Is Too High

Graham Coxon

A stark, tape-hissed retreat from the spotlight. Acoustic blues and jagged indie sketches recorded in isolation, capturing a heavy, beautiful loneliness.

August 8, 1998 · Transcopic

A fragile, tape-hissed document of solitary retreat and quiet existential dread.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring shift into a violent narrative on Who the Fuck? over a primitive drum beat.
The way the acoustic guitar on That’s All I Wanna Do feels like it was recorded inches from your ear.
The mournful, repetitive harmonica wail that anchors the closing track Morning Blues.
