Salford duo The Ting Tings have turned to crossover-dance maestro Calvin Harris for production assistance on their comeback single, Hands.

The single, taken from the outfit’s Berlin-recorded second album, tentatively titled Kunst, will be released on October 11 – as both limited edition artwork 12” and digital download.

Ting Tings drummer and lead songwriter Jules De Martino comments: “Our time in Berlin was a fresh start, with no rules again. When you’ve had an album that’s successful, the danger is you go back in the studio, look back and try and emulate it.”
