Fans don't have to wait until August to hear some new music from the group, though. The band has released a new single, "Mariana Trench," which will arrive as part of the set.
Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nate Walcott released eight albums together from the late-'90s through 2011, before going on an indefinite hiatus. In recent years, Oberst kept busy with a solo career and other projects, but fans have been wanting the guys to get back together for a while. Wish granted!
Listen to the full version of "Mariana Trench" below.
