Bill Murray's releasing a classical album because nothing makes sense. Or maybe everything does.

Actor, comedian, and die-hard Cubs fan Bill Murray just found his next big project: conquering the music industry.

The New York Times reported that Murray plans to surprise fans by releasing a new musical album this summer. Will he be rapping? Singing unofficial American anthems in a Daffy Duck voice? Nope. For his musical debut, Murray will be performing classical.

Didn't see that one coming, huh?

Murray's new project is titled "New Worlds," and will feature chamber music led by cellist Jan Vogler. Throughout the album, the 66-year-old Groundhog Day star will sing songs like Stephen Foster’s "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair," numbers from West Side Story, and perform select literary readings by Walt Whitman, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain.

After dropping by a listening session for the program, Sofia Coppola, Murray's director in Lost in Translation, told the Times she definitely didn't see the news coming.

"This is very unexpected," she said. "But because it's Bill, I'm not surprised. He is always surprising. That’s what’s fun about him."

Though the project is a bit out of Murray's wheelhouse, he's clearly excited to be a part of something that explores "themes of American history and identity," and already seems to be gaining a new artistic perspective.

"When they [the trio] start playing, the demand is so great that if you are attending to who you are right now, it brings out something that you couldn’t have visualized or planned for," he told The New York Times. "You hear all those other voices saying, 'That didn’t sound like Tony Bennett,' or, 'That B flat’s not going to break a light bulb.' But they’re receding. They’re gone."

The "New Worlds" recording is set to be released in August.
