The Sky Is Too High is the first 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" (from Modern Life is Rubbish) and "You're So Great" (from Blur, one of the few Blur songs with Coxon singing lead vocals).
