Are you ready to take the best nap of your life? Posters spotted in Brooklyn appear to tease a forthcoming collaboration between the National and Bon Iver.
An observant Reddit user has shared a photo of the poster design, which bears the title "Weird Goodbyes." It does not, however, include a release date, so this is basically all we know at this point.
UPDATE (8/18 12:34 p.m. ET): The National have confirmed the new single with Bon Iver, which is scheduled to be released on August 22, via social media.

But wait, we actually know more: the National are currently on tour and have been performing the track, which has previously been referred to on setlists as "Bathwater (Mount Auburn)," regularly since their first show in three years in Pamplona, Spain, on May 28.
Watch a fan-recorded live performance of the characteristically atmospheric, melancholy song in Cooperstown, NY, below.
"Weird Goodbyes" marks the first collaboration between Justin Vernon (and co.) and the Dessner(s) since last year's Big Red Machine album How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?, following the former's background vocal contribution to the title track of Taylor Swift's Aaron Dessner-produced evermore.
