"Fragile 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.^[1] 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.
