〕 }} ''Desmond's Hip City'' is a 1997 album by Skydiggers. The album differs from the band's conventional roots rock sound somewhat, with several songs (notably "Shape of Things to Come" and "November in Ontario") adopting more of a hard rock sound and the title track incorporating electronic keyboards and Sonic Youth-style guitar feedback. ''Desmond's Hip City'' refers to a record shop in Brixton, England; band member Josh Finlayson had lived above the store for a time in the early 1980s.〔Michael Barclay, Ian A.D.

A later view of the storefront can be seen in the 1983 Haysi Fantayzee video, "Sister Friction", where it is called Desmond Hip City.
