Artist News Releases
Ting Tings announce third album details
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 16 July 2014
Are you ready for a new Ting Tings album? No? Well, tough, it’s happening now and there’s nothing, save the sweet release of nuclear apocalypse, that can stop it. It’s going to be called ‘Super Critical’ and it’ll be out from PIAS/Finca on 20 Oct.
Following a difficult time recording their 2012 second album, ‘Sounds From Nowheresville’, and a few false starts with this one, the duo eventually got things really rolling when they met ex-Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor. He guided the pair through the studio process.
Of working with Taylor, the duo’s Jules De Martino says: “It felt like making a record while partying in your bedroom, which is pretty much exactly how we made the first album. In nine months we became like family. It was a massive education for us. His old analogue approach, the studio set-ups he used in the 80s with Duran were perfect for the sound we were looking for. That approach isn’t around anymore. Studio people don’t know how to achieve it”.
So, there you go. The previously previewed first single will be available for purchasing and that on 18 Aug. You can watch the video for it here, if you want:
