Album Description
Available in:
"Fragile Tension"/"Hole to Feed" is Depeche Mode's third single from their studio album, Sounds of the Universe, their 48th UK single overall, and their third double A-side single, following "Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody" and "John the Revelator / Lilian". "Hole to Feed" is the second Depeche Mode single written by Dave Gahan along with co-writers Christian Eigner and Andrew Phillpott, succeeding the first being "Suffer Well", from their previous album Playing The Angel. Gahan told The Guardian that "Hole to Feed" is, "a very cynical song about wanting to fill a gaping hole but not knowing what to fill it with. About sometimes the idea of having a hole to feed all being a figment of my imagination when I'm actually fine." It was announced on their website on 7 November 2009 and was released on 7 December 2009. Unlike the other two singles from the album, there are no plans to release a 7" vinyl edition at this time, and there will not be a limited edition CD ("LCD") either. It was not released in the U.S., nor was it released anywhere else.
Both songs have been slightly edited and remixed for the single. "Fragile Tension" has some new instrumentation and clearer vocals, while "Hole to Feed" has been rearranged and some sections have been removed.
On the band's Tour of the Universe, "Hole to Feed" was played at every show as the 3rd song, always after "Wrong". "Fragile Tension" was performed only once, at a show in Toronto.
