American Whip is the second album by the New York dream pop duo Joy Zipper released in 2002.

[6] The BBC's Richard Banks praised "charming melodies, heart-melting harmonies and hazy lo-fi guitars" forming "an intoxicating alt-pop nectar", noting a formula little-changed from their first album.

He also discerned a darker side beneath the "saccharine" surface.

[16] Pitchfork rated it 7.5/10, calling it "engaging and sharply-drawn", rejecting deeper meanings.

[18] Drowned in Sound scored it 5/10, saying "Joy Zipper are the type of band that think shrouding their songs in a sheet of sub-Kevin Shields drone, drugged-up affectations and bastardised Bacharach melodies makes their pedestrian pop sound urgent, vital and 'edgy.'
