Power-punk-emo-pop trio Ultimate Fakebook returns with it's first new album in sixteen years. A collection of tightly wound, disarmingly accomplished songs about shared dreams, national disappointment, friendship, devotion, love and Manhattan KS, the band's exuberant, you-only-live-once spirit explodes in songs including "Afterhours at Melin's," "My Music Industry" and "Sharing the Same Dream." RIYL: VHS tapes, iMacs. Neil Hamburger, Cheap Trick, the decline of the American empire, Superdrag, hope, paella, despair, Bandcamp, "Smell the Glove" and "Freaks and Geeks."
