The Ting Tings have revealed the title of the highly anticipated follow up to their 2008 debut 'We Started Nothing', and the inspiration behind it.
The album, which Katie White and Jules De Martino intend to release later in 2010, will be called Kunst, after a massage parlour near the Berlin studio where the duo are recording. De Martino told NME.com "It's called Massage Kunst ... It's Massage Art, basically ["kunst" is German for "art"]. We took a picture of that and sent it to our label, saying this is the title of the album. They went berserk."
Though a full track list has yet to be revealed, songs 'Help' and 'Hands' are definite inclusions on the finished album.
"We listened back to some of the demos and we thought, hold on a minute, this is sounding too much like we’re rocking out live ... We bought a couple of old weird synths in New York and smuggled them in our suitcases back to Berlin and they started to come strong on the music."
