Recording
These Lonely Streets was written and recorded at end of 2021 and beginning of 2022. The band had gone into the studio to record another concept album after the success with Double Trouble. They once again hired Freddy Spencer to produce the sessions and recorded at both RedOne Studios and Jamaker studios. The band was burned out and fighting and decided to scrap the idea, The band took a break from Christmas through the New Year and decided to reconvene on January 3rd to discuss new plans. The band traveled to Wichita, Kansas and rented a farmhouse and set up equipment to record some more demos. From January 3rd to January 13th the band recorded new songs with Freddy and his engineer Atom. On January 15th Archie and Keith met with Archie to discuss what direction they wanted the album to go in. They had about 3 albums worth of material recorded. The band decided to cut a straightforward back to basic roots pop rock record. They settled on 16 tracks. Freddy and Atom worked through until January 17th to mix and master the album with a release date set for January 21, 2022.
Music and Lyrics
Music was written once again by Archie, Keith Hudson, and Rachel Monroe. Some songs were written by Ed or JT for the Devil you Know sessions but ended up not being used. Peyton Reed had some input but less than she had on previous records. ￼ All lyrics were written by Rachel and Archie except for songs that Keith did lead vocals on. Those lyrics were done primarily by Keith or with some input by Archie. Lonely Streets is a primary reflection on Archie and Keith's attempt to combine the pop qualities of Painting a Perfect Picture with raw, rootsy rock sound. A collage of various images of the band is reflected in the album artwork. According to Archie Monroe, it presents the idea of "runaway outlaws using pop and rock as the bands weapon against the world, showcasing feeling of joy and isolation yet grinning into the scary unknown future that awaits us."
