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").
