Skywriting is the second album by The Field Mice.
It is often regarded as the most experimental of their three albums: featuring six wildly eclectic tracks ranging from post-acid house electronica (the side-long opener "Triangle"), country and western (side two's opener "Canada"), Go-Betweens-influenced jangle pop ("Clearer") and New Order-type sequencer/guitars ("It Isn't Forever"), to wistful, atmospheric, slow-motion ambience ("Below The Stars") and bizarre sample-strewn noise-collages (final track "Humblebee").
The following tracks appear on the 2005 reissue of the album from LTM recordings.
"This Is Not Here (1998)" is the remixed version first issued on Where'd You Learn to Kiss That Way?. The original version appears on For Keeps. "A Heart Disease Called Love" is a cover of a John Cooper Clarke song.
