Following up their 2 million-selling debut We Started Nothing is an auspicious task for The Ting Tings.

"We would rather write songs that nobody's going to hear than write dance tracks that would fit on the radio after David Guetta", said Ting Tings singer Katie White in The Guardian the other week. "I'd rather puke on my own feet than that".
