In a June 28 guest appearance on the movie review podcast/website "CinemaJaw," Lucas claimed that the next album would be out before the upcoming 2012 elections—mainly because so much of the album's content deals with it directly—expecting it to be released by February 2012. In the same interview, Lucas also suggested that a working title for the album was "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum", named for a song from the Depression Era. On July 11, 2012, the band announced that their next studio effort, "Hallelujah! I'm a Bum", would be released on September 18. A full track listing was also published.
