Blue Cathedral is the third studio album by Comets on Fire. It was released in 2004 on the Sub Pop label. Its sound is a mix of psychedelic and noise rock.
In an interview, Comets on Fire echoplex and electronics player Noel von Harmonson stated that the album cover art for Blue Cathedral was a photograph of an elephant that suffered from a disease causing a lack of pigment in some areas of its skin. In 2007 the album was performed live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series.

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or cathedral:
“Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.
The sky is a blue gum streaked with rose. The trees are black.
The grackles crack their throats of bone in the smooth air.
Moisture and heat have swollen the garden into a slum of bloom.
Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“... and met
At numerous cathedral cities
Unknown to the clergy.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
