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

Lonely Street is made up of artist Jim Shaw and Cary Loren, both former members of Destroy All Monsters. The works on this CDr was recorded in the basement of the Mobile Homestead soon after its construction in 2012. It also includes Halloween recordings made in Detroit in 2010 with Mike Kelley, Cameron Jamie and Cary Loren. Lonely Street is a band formed after the death of DAM member Mike Kelley. There was one Lonely Street performance held at Hauser and Wirth Jan. 20, 2018.

This Lonely Street album is released in an edition of 100 numbered copies and packaged in a clear CD envelope along with a Destroy All Monsters greeting card. Each photo card is one of 100 different images from the DAM era, printed, mounted, and signed on the outside of the card by Cary Loren. The card back is rubber stamped “Destroy All Monsters” with a creature. The CDr is printed with another Loren photo taken in a basement room of the Mobile Homestead.

The project was inspired by the “Vision in a Cornfield” exhibition held at MOCAD in 2012, (using a mix of period DAM samples) along with a series of male pop crooner songs collected by Mike Kelley and presented as cover versions selected by Shaw and Loren and recorded at the Mobile Homestead on opening day. Lonely Street 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.
