Tears For Fears have released their new music video for Break The Man.
Directed by WeAreMonkeys, with animation by Mihai Wilson and produced by Marcella Moser, the visual encompasses a world that illustrates the constructed reality of the patriarchy.
Inspired by the song’s lyrics, it’s a place of endless hierarchies built on blind devotion to unstable and unsustainable structures.
Curt Smith says: “It’s about a strong female – which is obvious – but it’s really about breaking the patriarchy.”
The track is the third single to be lifted from the duo’s highly anticipated first studio album in seventeen years, ‘The Tipping Point’, due February 25 via Concord Records.
The LP is preceded by its lead single and title track, along with recent release No Small Thing, which begins as an acoustic ditty and flourishes into a full band moment, and became a “catalyst” for the album as we know it today.
‘The Tipping Point’ is available to pre-order on CD, Deluxe CD and vinyl. A Super Deluxe Edition CD is also available, along with signed CDs.
