Sewn to the Sky is the first album by Bill Callahan (also known as Smog), released in 1990 on Disaster Records. It was later re-released on Drag City and manifested Callahan's importance for the lo-fi music in the early 1990s. This highly experimental album combined home recording, substandard instruments and repetitive and noisy songwriting structures for what was later called the pioneering of the lo-fi genre. The liner notes stated it was recorded on a "dumpster Portastudio".
The track, "A Jar of Sand", was re-recorded for the 'Neath the Puke Tree EP in 2000.
The track "I Want to Tell You About a Man", written about Jesus Christ, refers to Philip K. Dick in the line "He doesn't read Dick K. Philips", reversing Dick's name ostensibly for humor.
