Desmond's Hip City is a 1997 album by Skydiggers. The album differs from the band's conventional country 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.
Guest musicians on the album include Sarah Harmer, Lewis Melville, Jim Cuddy and Anne Bourne.
