CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com If you're an old-school Anglophile who hoped Blur were temporarily sidetracked when they recorded the Pavement-meets-Small Faces bluster of their self-titled 1997 album, this solo album by Blur guitarist Graham Coxon indicates that he, at least, is still obsessed with all things red, white, and new. Written while his main outfit was on hiatus, The Sky Is Too High reflects both Coxon's love for American indie rock staples like Sonic Youth, Sebadoh, and Jonathan Richman and his need to experiment with sound and mood. Sometimes dissonant, sometimes disturbing, the disc clearly demonstrates that for Coxon, the sky's the limit. --Jon Wiederhorn Similar CDs

CD ReviewsNot bad... G. Moses | Men...Of...The...Sea! | 01/27/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a decent enough album--I can't say it exactly blows my mind, but given that it was more or less thrown together in a week, it's not too bad. Graham doesn't have a great voice (there's a reason Damon does most of Blur's singing...), and some of the lyrics are sorta simplistic, but all in all I was pleasantly surprised. And besides, it's a federal law that all Blur fans must own it." Superb solo album that is an instant classic. 09/21/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) "The spirit of Syd Barrett and Nick Drake live in this amazing recording. Off the drink and bored, Graham Coxon has produced a simple yet beautiful album which updates the pastoral influences of Syd and Nick with a punkish edge. It is a delicate sound that repays repeated playings and is a refreshing update to the more layered Blur recordings." Damon who? G. Moses | 02/24/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "Great solo record from the workhorse behind blur. I dare someone else to try to play his lead guitar parts while singing dead-on harmony. He's more than "the guitarist" now, he's the Author."
