Bon Iver‘s Justin Vernon and the National‘s Aaron Dessner are bringing the second Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival back to Wisconsin on August 12-13. A cassette teasing the festival’s lineup has reportedly been sent to early bird ticket holders, and as Consequence of Sound reports, one of the songs is by “Fall Creek Boys Choir.” That’s the name of a 2011 song by Vernon and James Blake.

Update (2/6, 5:45 p.m.): Eaux Claires’ organizers have confirmed the tracklist. It includes a song by Bryce Dessner (Aaron Dessner’s twin brother and fellow National member) with S. Carey and Justin Vernon. Vernon also has a song with his band Bon Iver, “Haven, Mass (B-Side),” as well as two songs with Aaron Dessner. The new Fall Creek Boys Choir song is called “Untitled 2.” Check out the full tracklist below, via Kyle Matteson’s Twitter.
