Tracing Lines and Silent Cry are the double a-side singles from Feeder, and was released on August 24, 2008. It was meant to be released on the 25th [cite web|url=http://www.feederweb.com/releases.php?view=singles|title=Feeder: Releases|work=feederweb.com|accessdate=2008-08-24] , but for some currently unknown reason it appeared on the UK iTunes store a day early.

Both songs, 'Tracing Lines' and 'Silent Cry' are taken from their sixth album, Silent Cry. The single was originally meant to be just Tracing Lines, released on August 11, 2008. However Silent Cry was later added along with the announcement that it would be a download-only single. Feeder fans have slated this due to there being no physical release or any new material worth collecting. There are still promo copies of "Tracing Lines" available on sites such as eBay, which are more collectable than most promos, as they were pressed when the single was "Tracing Lines" only.

The band themselves expressed very little attention into the singles promotion, in which at the Reading leg of the Reading and Leeds festival, the song was dropped from the setlist in exchange for a cover of Nirvana's "Breed", with no mention by Grant Nicholas of the single during the set.

The single charted outside the top 200.

Petition

After hearing of the news that there would be no physical download nor new content the feeder fans decided to take up a petition like they did for Shatter and Just A Day. They demand that there be 1) at least one new song. 2) A physical copy of the single. [http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/feeder/]
