According to a press release, Hallelujah! I’m A Bum is a concept album in which Scott Lucas drew inspiration from, ”the deeply divided political climate that exists in the U.S. and around the world, using the Windy City as a backdrop to sardonically comment on how this polarization personally impacts people.”
Sounds like pretty deep stuff. In the same press release, it states that the record will also have a canine theme (which makes sense considering the above cover art) that will work as a companion piece to their 1998 release, Pack Up the Cats.
But one track from the record, “Night Flight To Paris,” has already been revealed via a Lucas-directed video of Local H in the studio. The song is pretty damn heavy and definitely harkens back to Local H’s Here Comes The Zoo era.
