The Ting Tings have scrapped an entire album’s worth of material according to singer Katie White, reports the Daily Star newspaper.
The guitar-led pop duo had readied a new album recorded in Berlin for release this year, and issued the single ‘Hands‘ back in September, but after repeated delays, have now apparently turned their backs on the LP after ‘falling out of love with it’.
“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,” White is quoted as saying in the UK tabloid.
“We went to Spain and stumbled on this new sound so we thought, ‘**** 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.”
The band’s debut album, ‘We Started Nothing‘, was one of the hit releases of 2008, and boasts the UK number one single ‘That’s Not My Name‘.
