It's been well documented that digital music has altered the way fans consume songs and albums. For the Ting Tings, that change manifested itself on their second album, a diverse collection that draws influences from TLC, Nancy Sinatra and Fleetwood Mac.
"Traveling for two years, we listened to all our music on MP3 players because we couldn't carry our record collection around with us," the Ting Tings' Jules DeMartino tells Spinner. "We made a lot of our playlists up while traveling and instead of listening to complete albums of bands, we kind of tended to drag two of our favorite tracks in from someone like Fleetwood Mac."

Recorded in Berlin, the still-untitled album finds the electro-pop duo expanding the sound from their 2008 debut, 'We Started Nothing.' In creating a playlist of sorts, DeMartino and partner Katie White range from R&B love songs to haunting acoustic ballads back to the dance-rock that made them famous.
