The Ting Tings Name Their Second Album 'Kunst'

January 12, 2010
The Ting Tings Name Their Second Album 'Kunst'The Ting Tings have revealed the title of their second album - 'Kunst'.

German for the word 'art', the Salford duo say the title was inspired by the name of a massage parlour near their recording studio in Berlin.

“Just round the corner to our studio there's a massage parlour, it's called Massage Kunst," drummer Jules de Martino told NME.com.

"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."

The follow-up to their 2008 chart-topping debut, 'We Started Nothing', is set for release later this year.
