What remains of the old Franz Ferdinand is their knack for locating a danceable rhythm and their gentle, deadpan humour. The choice of Dan Carey as producer is in keeping with this new direction, the past credits of whose include CSS and Hot Chip.

We Started Nothing The Ting Tings, CD 781.66 TIN 2008 – We Started Nothing is the debut album from The Ting Tings. Tipped in the top three of the BBC’s Sound of 2008 poll at the beginning of the year, seemingly they have much to prove. However, The Ting Tings aren’t about proving themselves; they are simply here to enjoy it. Making great British pop music – their way – is what they’re about. Born of a desire to employ the DIY ethic from day one – Katie White and Jules De Martino escaped the industry trappings they once experienced in a previous band and went back to basics as a duo. They stripped back everything they thought they both knew about making music and the industry that revolved around every note. We Started Nothing is a debut album brimming with intuitive pop noise. It’s pure garage-pop and once heard will in-bed itself into your subconscious for many days, weeks, months to come. Snappy choruses trade off against angular gutar work, whip smart drumming and a succession of loops that they create live with the use of delay pedals.
