Sewn to the Sky is an album by Smog, released in 1990 by Disaster Records.[6] Most sources consider it to be Smog's first album, made after the release of several cassette-only recordings.[7] It was re-released by Drag City in 1995.[8] The experimental album combined home recording, substandard instruments and repetitive and noisy songwriting structures, and was an early example of the lo-fi genre.
The track "A Jar of Sand" was re-recorded for the 'Neath the Puke Tree EP in 2000.
