Cool Pope Readies Prog-Rock Album; Here Is The First Track

Yeah, you heard me. Rolling Stone has reported that Pope Francis will be releasing a “pop-rock” album entitled Wake Up in late November. The LP will feature “the Pontiff delivering sacred hymns and excerpts of his most moving speeches in multiple languages paired with uplifting musical accompaniment ranging from pop-rock to Gregorian chant.” You can listen to the first track “Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!” channel heavy Explosions In The Sky vibes, complete with sick electric guitar riffs, below. What a time to be alive!
