This Patch of Sky are a Oregon instrumental postrock band, formed in 2010 in Eugene. The band consists of Kit Day (guitar), Joshua Carlton (guitar, vocals), Joel Erickson (bass), Nate Trowbridge (drums), Chris King (synth/piano) and Alex Abrams (cello). The band typically composes cinematic instrumental pieces that combine subtle-nuanced melodies and wall-of-sound guitars to create a symphonic landscape. The band was signed to German indie label Oxide-Tones in 2011 and released "The Immortal, The Invisible" and "Newly Risen, How Brightly You Shine". In 2013 Oxide-Tones became extinct, resulting in the band releasing full length album "Heroes and Ghosts" independently.

In January 2014, This Patch of Sky was voted as "Most Improved Artist" in the annual Postrockstar 2013 Year End awards.
