Back in 2004, Bright Eyes and fellow Nebraska Neva Dinova got together to record a split EP entitled: One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels. Remaining as one of the lesser known releases from Saddle Creek — but regarded as a favorite by fans. Well now, reports TwentyFourbit, One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels will be reissued on March 23 — pre-order here — with four new songs included into the mix. The album was originally an EP that consisted of six songs, but with these four additions, it can now be considered a proper full-length.

The four songs set to appear on the album are entitled: “Rollerskating,” “Happy Accident,” “Someone’s Love,” and “I Know You”.

Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes revealed late last year that he was at work on a new album with Bright Eyes, which will also be the bands final under the moniker — Oberst has clearly shifted in different musical directions over the years, so this comes as no huge surprise.

Below, you can listen to a sampling of the four new tracks.
