The Afghan Whigs return today with their first original song in four years, after sharing a pair of covers a few months back. “House of I,” produced and mixed by Greg Dulli and Christopher Thorn, precedes the indie-rock veterans’ 40th anniversary tour, which will take them from coast to coast starting next month. Check out the song and tour dates, which all feature support from Mercury Rev, below.

Dulli said in a press release, “Laid this one down in New Orleans last summer. Was looking for an up tempo banger and feel like we found one here.”

A new album—the follow-up to How Do You Burn?—will follow this year, according to the press release.
