The Ting Tings have revealed that they have chosen a title for their second album, which they are currently recording in Berlin. It'll be called 'Kunst'.

Now, I know what you're thinking, referring to what they do as 'art' is getting a bit above their station, but what if there was a really interesting story behind the name? It'd be okay then, surely.

Sadly, there isn't. Speaking to the NME, the duo's Jules De Martino explained: "Just round the corner to our studio there's a massage parlour, it's called Massage Kunst. It's Massage Art, basically. We took a picture of that and sent it to our label, saying this is the title of the album. They went berserk".

He added that the new songs started out sounding like they might be good live, but they quickly put a stop to that, saying: "We listened back to some of the demos and we thought, 'Hold on a minute, this is sounding too much like we're rocking out live'. We bought a couple of old weird synths in New York and smuggled them in our suitcases back to Berlin and they started to come strong on the music".
