Renaldo & the Loaf, Songs for Swinging Larvae (side A)

After many years' experience making music, I still have trouble figuring out how Renaldo & the Loaf made Songs for Swinging Larvae in 1981.  Some of the repetition must have been achieved with tape loops, and I think the vocals are sped up or slowed down using varispeed on a multi-track deck (it sounds like they were using an 8-track).  There seem to be electric guitars recorded direct and compressed/processed on the way in, though they often end up sounding almost like double-reed instruments as a result.  The percussion might involve banging on kitchen utensils or other house-hold objects.  The other amazing thing about Songs for Swinging Larvae is that the abstract soundscapes that fit the instrumentation and arrangements alternate with memorable and catchy pop songs that feel somewhat incongruous with the sound.  The album is also impressively mastered to preserve all of the weird sounds that the duo created.  The iconic cover design is printed on thick, textured paper.
