The Sky Is Too High


The Sky Is Too High is the debut solo album by Blur guitarist Graham Coxon. Released in 1998, he wrote, recorded and produced all the music himself. Most of the album consists of lo-fi acoustic songs with some overdubbed electric guitar and percussion, similar in style to the Blur songs "Miss America" and "You're So Great".

Critical reception

The Guardian said that, "while there's nothing here to rival the fragility of Syd Barrett's 'Dark Globe' or the irreverence of the Silver Jews, Coxon displays an unsuppressable gift for musical bumbling, one that is impressive even when he doesn't seem to care at all."

Track listing

On the album cover, another song titled "" is listed in the track list between "Who the Fuck?" and "Mornin' Blues" but it has been crossed out, making it unreadable. There are however only 11 songs on the album and there is no track between "Who the Fuck?" and "Mornin' Blues".
