"Tear Garden" is the second single to be taken from IAMX's third studio album 'Kingdom of Welcome Addiction'.

<i>Kingdom of Welcome Addiction</i> album by IAMX

Kingdom of Welcome Addiction is the third studio album by IAMX, released on 19 May 2009. Chris Corner described Kingdom of Welcome Addiction as being "like Disney World but with lipstick, cynicism and wit". It is the first IAMX album not to feature the vocals of Sue Denim, as well as being the first not to include any SP4 tracks.

Music video

The music video sees Chris wearing fur and members of his live band jumping up and down at various points throughout. The song's title is a play on the German word 'Tiergarten' meaning 'zoo', and images of them pop up on the screen from time to time.
