Lonely Street: Tender Moments From The Mobile Homestead (edition of 100)

The Lonely Street CDr album is an edition of 22 tracks and hand-numberd in an edition of 100 copies. It is packaged in a clear resealable envelope with a Destroy All Monsters greeting card by Cary Loren. Each photo card is one of 100 different image mounted on archival card stock, signed under the image. The card contains the photo, track listing, and the back is rubber stamped “Destroy All Monsters.” The CDr is printed with a Loren photo of model Nancy Rance taken at a secret underground basement location (a room decorated in a ritual manner by the LAFMS) at Mike Kelley’s Mobile Homestead.

Lonely Street is a tribute to Mike Kelley and made up of artist-musicians Jim Shaw and Cary Loren, former members of Destroy All Monsters. The works on this CDr were recorded in the basement of Kelley’s Mobile Homestead soon after its construction in 2012. It also includes samples of the last Halloween recordings made in Detroit in 2010 with Mike Kelley, Cameron Jamie and Cary Loren. The album was released on End is Here in 2016. There was one live Lonely Street performance held at Hauser and Wirth on Jan. 20, 2018.

The project began forming at the DAM “Vision in a Cornfield” exhibition held at MOCAD in 2012, (using a mix of period DAM samples) along with a series of middle-age male pop crooner songs collected by Mike Kelley, distributed to friends before his death and presented as cover versions selected by Shaw and Loren. The initial recordings were done at the Mobile Homestead on its opening day in 2012. Lonely Street album was produced for the Destroy All Monsters exhibition : “A Manifesto of Ignorance” held at the Horse Hospital in London, UK, in April, 2016. A small amount of this special edition are still available from Book Beat.
