"Fakebook" is the fourth official, full-length album released, in 1990, by indie rock band Yo La Tengo. Comprised of eleven cover songs as well as five originals, this album is regarded as departure from their previous albums due to it containing mostly folk songs. Nevertheless, it manages to represent how diverse the band is musically as a whole.
