Tegan and Sara have released new cut "Faded Like A Feeling" as the third outing from their forthcoming 10th album Crybaby.

"Faded Like A Feeling" is accompanied by a Mark Myers-directed video, and will appear on Crybaby with earlier singles "Yellow" and "Fucking Up What Matters".

Tegan wrote of the track on Instagram, "I wrote three versions of the song before we recorded it; Sara kept pressing me to dig deeper, and what started as a love song, turned into something entirely different. In my substack this week I wrote, "…sometimes, writing about something you have isn’t half as interesting as writing about something you’ve lost." I lifted some of my favourite Sara lyrics from an unreleased song of hers, so it feels like a true T&S collaboration; we even sing the bridge as a duet. While the song would have been perfect for fall, we felt like you needed to hear it sooner than that."

Crybaby will follow Tegan and Sara's 2019 album Hey, I'm Just Like You. It was recorded at Seattle's Studio Litho and LA's Sargent Recorders, and was produced by Tegan and Sara with John Congleton.

Earlier this month the first teaser trailer was revealed for High School, the upcoming series based on Tegan and Sara's memoir of the same name.

"Faded Like A Feeling" is out now. Tegan and Sara will release their Crybaby album on 21 October via Mom+Pop Music, and it's available to pre-order now.
