Back in January, The Decemberists announced “The Shuffling Off to Ragnarök Tour,” a trek on which they planned to road-test a “bunch of new songs.” At the tour’s kickoff over the weekend, the band made good on that promise, premiering a new track called “Traveling On”.

As you can tell from the fan-shot footage above, “Traveling On” was a crowd pleaser and drew hearty applause from the captive audience. It’s not yet known whether this new material will appear on The Decemberists’ follow-up to 2015’s What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World. However, if Colin Meloy and co. are truly “trying [new material] on like new clothes, seeing how they fit,” then it sounds like this song has just the right cut.

In addition to “Traveling On”, the 18-song set included the debut of a song called “We All Die You” (footage for that one has yet to surface). Here was the night’s full setlist:

Setlist:
The Infanta
We Both Go Down Together
The Wrong Year
Shiny
Till the Water’s All Long Gone
Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)
Traveling On (New Song)
The Gymnast, High Above Ground
Down by the Water
Odalisque
We All Die Young (New Song)
Lake Song
Los Angeles, I’m Yours
The Rake’s Song
O Valencia!
This Is Why We Fight

Encore:
The Tain
June Hymn
