Aaron Freeman sent Teenbeat two cassettes of material to Teenbeat over a six-month span. Aaron and Mark Robinson selected their favorites from the two for this album.

From the liner notes by Aaron Freeman: 'Sprouted out of deep psychological problems and blossomed into a young virgin sound just waiting to be heard. It's all recorded in my bedroom with my tape deck and whatever else I can borrow off people. Synthetic Socks consists of me, and various guest stars. This cassette has been recorded over a span of about 10 years. I'm still in high school and plan to move where the trees live.'
