Ting Tings on New Album

Salford duo The Ting Tings have been one of the most successful new acts of 2008, but in a recent interview the band warned that they have not made plans to record a follow up to debut album 'We Started Nothing'.

Almost single-handedly defining the summer with anthems such as 'That's Not My Name' the group had a hugely successful year but admit they have not begun preparing a follow up to their debut album. The duo are set to commence a world tour, and claim they can't write when on tour.

Drummer Jules De Martino told the BBC that The Ting Tings planned to “make some space” to write new material in April.

Singer Katie White added "we have to lock ourselves away a bit, go and see lots of different things, like art and bands, and just get inspired. It's not inspiring in hotel rooms. So we consciously made an effort to not write. We have ideas and we have song titles and things we want to say but we've not actually turned them into songs yet."

De Martino hinted at the possibility of recording abroad, saying "we'd like to do a bit of recording in Berlin and in Paris, in Salford of course and maybe a bit in New York as well. So we make makeshift studios in spaces, and throw parties and record off the back of those again."
