Renaldo & The Loaf
Arabic Yodeling/ Grain By Grain
Arabic Yodelling was Renaldo & The Loaf's third album and their second for The Residents Ralph Records. It took two
years to make and finally saw the light of day in 1983. This collection of songs and tunes describes characters, places
and covert observations, although not designed to have a preconceived storyline, the songs seem to lend themselves to a
picture show of the mind. Each listener is free to wander through this place, creating (or not) their own
interpretation. The title comes from Like Some Kous-Kous Western. Theres a bit where Brian Poole sings something that
sounds vaguely eastern or Arabic and somehow mutates into something like a yodel - David Janssen commented that it
sounded like Arabic yodelling and that was filed away somewhere for future use. Around the same time, a lot of other
tracks were started, but never finished. RATL now collected lots of these bits and peaces, worked on them, and for the
third time we present you this release as a deluxe double CD
