at The New Parish. Taking part in a live-streamed interview series called "Behind The Album," songwriter Ryan Walsh likened the odds of their fourth album coming together the way it did to "pulling off a heist." On April 12, 2016, Hallelujah The Hills returned with A Band Is Something To Figure Out, their fifth full-length album, recorded almost ten years to the day of their first rehearsal. The making of the album was documented by UK author M. Jonathan Lee for an in-progress book about the band. Punk News called the album "an extensive look inside the human psyche, all set to a gorgeous soundtrack." Metro Boston wrote, "These 11 songs, loaded with gritty determination, dramatic dynamic swells and gang vocal shouts, might just make you believe again in whatever it was you stopped believing in" while Dig Boston noted the band's staying power: "In Boston, a city ripe with remarkable rock acts…local treasure Hallelujah The Hills sits at the top of that throne." The band toured less than usual following that release due to Walsh working on his debut book, Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968, published by Penguin Press in March 2018. The band, joined by new member David Michael Curry, recorded new original instrumental music to augment the book's audiobook format, later deciding to release the tracks as an album titled Against Electricity. Music blog If It's Too Loud explained, "There are two things Boston's Hallelujah the Hills do incredibly well: Catchy roots based rock songs and experimental instrumental noise rock. Their sixth album, Against Electricity, was just released yesterday and it fits squarely in the latter category." Hallelujah the Hills’ 2019's album, entitled I’m You, was declared “Album of the Year” by Glorious Noise, “a lyrical masterpiece,” by Metro U.S, and earned a 9/10 rating from The Line of Best Fit. WBUR wrote that the album was a” Ginsberg-esque telling of present-day America backed by a band with a similar chaotic synchronicity as the band from Ziggy Stardust.” I'm You also features a guest appearance by Astral Weeks' musician John Payne and features the first released song that Walsh co-wrote with his wife, Marissa Nadler. Walsh candidly spoke about the difficult period he went through leading up to the release of I’m You on the RIYL podcast in August of 2020. The band’s first ever European tour, scheduled for the summer of 2020, was canceled
