Tears For Fears’ career dates back over four decades, and now, they’re finally announcing their first-ever live album. Out this October, Songs For A Nervous Planet arrives alongside an accompanying concert film recorded at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee last year. The album also features four brand-new studio tracks, including today’s new single “The Girl That I Call Home.”

On the decision to record and release a live album, Tears For Fears’ Curt Smith says in a press release: “I think a lot of people don’t know that we are a good live band, actually! They see a duo, and they think it’s going to be two people with a couple of keyboards and a bunch of backing tapes, and that’ll be it. Over the years, we’ve vastly improved since our heyday back in the ’80s.” Roland Orzabal adds: “You could say this is an album forty years in the making.”

However, fans are sharing disappointment about the album artwork on Instagram, accusing it of being AI-generated. Stereogum has reached out to a band representative for more information on the design. Below, listen to “The Girl That I Call Home,” and watch a clip from the concert film in which Tears For Fears do their old hit “Sowing The Seeds Of Love.”
