About
Songs for Swinging Larvae is the second album, and first LP by Renaldo & The Loaf. The Residents covered three songs from the album in a concentrate for their Icky Flix project. Sessions for the album began after the completion of their first album, Struve & Sneff, which had been released through the duos personal label, Rotcod Production. During the sessions the group also produced a demo album, and an EP, which they sent to Do It & Ralph Record. These demo albums impressed the label, and both agreed to release their then unfinished next album. By November 1980, the album was completed and sent to both label, with Do It releasing the album in the UK, June 1981, and Ralph releasing it in the US shortly afterward. Representatives at Ralph Records became interested in producing a video for the album, directed by Residents director Graeme Whifler. The duo considered creating a video for the song 'Is Guava A Donut?', but eventually decided on a combination of Lime Jelly Gra, Spratt’s Medium, and the unreleased track 'Melvyn’s Repose'. Ralph paid for the duo to fly from Portsmouth to San Francisco to meet and film the video. During this visit, RATL met with The Resident, and they recorded the '4 Daze' demo tape together. .
