Fragile Figures is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band Secrets released through Velocity and Rise Records on July 23, 2013. It is the band's second album produced by Tom Denney, and the first and only release with vocalist Aaron Melzer. The album sold over 10,000 copies on its first month, and reached number 59 on Billboard 200 chart in 2013. The deluxe edition of the album was released on May 27, 2014, with 3 new songs and a remix of the track "Ready for Repair". It is the only release to include former vocalist Aaron Melzer before his departure in 2015.
The band teamed up again with producer Tom Denney (ex-A Day to Remember) who produced their debut album The Ascent. Vocally, the sound was going to be different from the previous album, as the former vocalist Xander Bourgeois who sang on the debut album, left in April and was replaced with a new lead vocalist Aaron Melzer, formerly with the band Author & Finisher. Also Richard Rogers worked on his vocals for this album with Eric Ron who is specialized in vocal production. In the Vents magazine interview, the band explained the album title: "We realize everyone is broken, everyone goes through hard times, and everyone is trying not to break in this world we live in. We thought that 'Fragile Figures' was an appropriate title that encompassed the meaning behind all of our songs on this record."
The debut single from the album, "Ready for Repair", along with a music video, was released on June 10, 2013. The single was available only as instant download with the album pre-order bundle. The second song from the album "Live Together, Die Alone" premiered on June 25. A lyric video was released for this promotional track. The third single, "Maybe Next May" was released as digital download on July 5. The fourth and final song presented before the album release was "The Architect (Part Two)" which premiered exclusively at Revolver Magazine website on July 12. The new album Fragile Figures was released in its entirety for streaming on a YouTube playlist on July 17. A music video for "How We Survive" premiered exclusively at Alternative Press website on December 12, 2013. The band then released a music video featuring fan-submitted videos for "Maybe Next May" on April 7, 2014.
