Synthetic Socks is an album by Aaron Freeman (a.k.a. Gene Ween), released on TeenBeat Records in 1987. It is almost entirely the product of Freeman making personal recordings in his bedroom. Freeman sent two cassettes of material to TeenBeat over six months. Freeman and Mark Robinson later went through the tapes and selected songs from them that would later appear on the album.[1] The cover of the album is a close up of a child (possibly Freeman himself) holding a frog. Alternate versions of the cover crop the image so only the frog and the child's hand can be seen.
