energy and a fresh perspective with <b><i>Sounds From Nowheresville</i></b>. Paying homage to a bevy of influences, from the Beastie Boys, to Fleetwood Mac, to Pet Shop Boys, to tUnE-YarDs, the Ting Tings newest album listens as a mix tape of favorites. Featuring
first single “<b>Hang It Up”</b>, chamber pop-synth jam “<b>Silence</b>” and sing-along hooks of
<b>“Guggenheim” </b>and <b>“Day to Day”</b>,<b> </b>this collection is a natural progression for the acclaimed duo but still remains true to their signature pop sensibility and catchy rhythms.
<b><i>Sounds From Nowheresville </i></b>is the perfect follow up to 2008’s smash success,
<b><i>We Started Nothing </i></b>featuring hit singles “<b>That’s Not My Name</b>” and “<b>Shut Up and Let Me Go</b>”.
