Remember The Tings Tings? Those two who are probably shagging but not telling anyone about it? Those that sang “they call me Maureen, they call me dipshit, they call my Cyril, they call me galling, they called me thingy… that’s not my name!” Them? They’re coming back.
Yes indeed. The Ting Tings are bringing out a new single called? ‘Hands’, on October 11th and the track has been mixed by Calvin Harris.
He’ll probably have a small breakdown about the whole thing on Twitter and then run at someone with a piece of watermelon stapled to his eyelid or something.
The Ting Tings have been recording in Berlin and the new track will be the first taster of the new material. The second album is due out later in the year.
What’s it called? The album is called ‘Kunst’. That sounds a bit like a rude word doesn’t it?!
Woooo.
Drummer and main songwriter Jules De Martino said to the NME, talking about the sessions: “Our time in Berlin was a fresh start, with no rules again. When you’ve had an album that’s been successful, the danger is you go back in the studio, look back and try and emulate it.”
Singy drum thumper, Katy White added: “It’d be so lazy and easy to make the same album twice.”
‘Hands’ will be released on 12-inch limited-edition vinyl and as a digital download.
