As reported by Rolling Stone, the Pope is planning the release of a “prog-rock-infused album” for Nov. 27.

Titled Wake Up!, and approved by the Vatican, the album blends the Pope’s speeches with music by various musicians, including Tony Pagliaca, who founded prog-rock band Le Orme and worked with Van Der Graaf Generator.
