Remember The Ting Tings? Yeah. They once shouted “THAT’S NOT MY NAME!” and now it’s more of a case of “DOES ANYONE REMEMBER OUR NAMES?” Also, we’re right when we assume that they’re totally shagging each other, right?
Either way, apart from appearances on the terrible adverts that appear in the adbreaks of the X Factor which shows children with robot arms and penguins dancing on pensioners faces, the Ting Tings have fallen off the radar after briefly being considered as something of a festival fave.
Alas, singer Katie White has still not done a Nuts photoshoot and not thwacked a bass drum in anger in a while because she’s been making a new album. Excited? No, neither were the Ting Tings who promptly binned the whole thing because it wasn’t very good.
According to various publications who may or may not be lying (we don’t actually care), the band scrapped an entire album’s worth of material.
The duo made their new album in Berlin which was set for release this year. They issued the single ‘Hands’ which no-one quite remembers and then, after delays which no-one but impatient record company execs noticed, they have now turned their backs on the work they’ve done after ?falling out of love with it?.
White says:
?We went to Berlin and really fell in love with techno and dance, which inspired the songs we made there, but we just fell out of love with it?
?We went to Spain and stumbled on this new sound so we thought, ?fuck it, let's make the album this way instead?. we're not a big manufactured pop band with a song out every six months. The label might have pulled their faces a bit at the beginning, but they are now so happy we did it.?
Basically, it presumably has That's Not My Name pt 2 on it because, effectively, that’s the sort of thing idiot Ting Tingers really want.
They do. YES THEY DO. Shut up.
