Sewn to the Sky is Smog's debut album, released in 1990 on Disaster Records. It was later re-released on Drag City and manifested Bill Callahan's importance for the Lo-fi music in the early 90-ies. This highly experimental album combined homerecording, substandard instruments and repetitive and noisy songwriting-structures for what would later be called the pioneering of the lo-fi genre. The liner notes stated it was recorded on a "dumpster Portastudio".
