"/info/fragile" target="_blank">Fragile /info/tension" target="_blank">Tension" / "Hole to Feed" are two songs by Depeche Mode, released as a double A-side single 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 US, nor was it released anywhere else. They were released as the third single from the group's 2009 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.
Background
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."
Both songs have been slightly edited and remixed for the single. "/info/fragile" target="_blank">Fragile /info/tension" target="_blank">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". "/info/fragile" target="_blank">Fragile /info/tension" target="_blank">Tension" was performed only once, at a show in Toronto.
Music videos
The video for "Hole to Feed" debuted in August 2009 and was directed by Eric Wareheim (of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!). The video, which does not feature the band at all, received negative feedback from fans on YouTube. It stars Cheyenne Haynes as the lead singer. The "/info/fragile" target="_blank">Fragile /info/tension" target="_blank">Tension" video was directed by Rob Chandler and Barney Steel and does feature the band.
