Victorian America is the second album by Emily Jane White released on October 9, 2009, in France by Talitres Records and on April 27, 2010, in the U.S. by Milan Records.[1]
Allmusic gave a positive review, commenting that "White sticks with the formula, and ekes out another quiet triumph."[2] By contrast, Slant Magazine opined that "there's a measure of sustained dreariness in the middling fulfillment of low expectations."[3]
Victorian America debuted and peaked at #113 on the French Albums Chart. It spent a total of 6 weeks on the chart, becoming her highest and longest charting album to date.[4]
Longtime collaborator Cam Archer directed the music videos for "Victorian America" (2009) and "A Shot Rang Out" (2010).[5]
The song "Liza" was featured on Pitchfork Media's Forkcast list.[6]
