The LP was only released in 2008 on the small US label Saint Rose and was only available here as a US import. Now Emily Jane White's timeless debut album is released on LP including MP3 download card! Armed with an acoustic guitar and her fragile voice, singer/songwriter Emily Jane White from San Francisco sets out to tell the world her complex stories of melancholy and isolation. The comparisons to related artists like Cat Power or Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) are inevitable. But also White's borrowings from classical female jazz and blues singers like Billi Holiday do not remain hidden on her debut Dark Undercoat. With Dark Undercoat the American makes a remarkable album debut on the French Talitres label! The San Francisco-based songwriter's debut touches the listener with her tender, sometimes tipping voice, which is hardly disturbed by the acoustic guitar and an occasional cello. The cautious arrangements support the dreamy, but from time to time one has the feeling that this fairy tale could also end sadly. Which only enhances the magic. - Rolling Stone, October 2008
