Suitcase 2: American Superdream Wow is the second box set of 100 unreleased songs by Guided by Voices. As with the first Suitcase box set, each song is credited to a fictional band name. For this set's artwork, fictional artwork, album covers, and ephemera associated with some of the acts was created.

The mastering process for this set involved a cassette-deck and a consumer-model standalone CD burner operated by bandleader Robert Pollard himself, and the transfer process left a handful of tracks marred by digital audio glitches.

The subtitle "American Superdream Wow" comes from lyrics from the song "Denied" on From a Compound Eye .

Pollard later created a band called Boston Spaceships, which appears as a song on this collection.
