来自曼彻斯特的英伦ELectro-pop双人组The Ting Tings，以2008年初试啼声的单曲〈That's Not My Name〉和首张专辑《从零开始 We Started Nothing》双双在发行当周夺下英国专辑及单曲榜冠军，并入选英国BBC Sound of 2008季军，更赢得美国葛莱美最佳新进团体大奖的肯定。接下来两年，The Ting Tings紧锣密鼓地展开全球的巡回演出行程后，终于开始筹备这张全球乐迷期盼的全新大碟《Sounds From Nowheresville》。
由主唱兼吉他/贝斯/鼓手全包的金发美女Katie White和鼓手/合声的Jules De Martino二人所组成的The Ting Tings，一度面临「难产的第二张专辑」关卡，他们来到柏林，试着创作新歌，却对这些作品不满意，他们不放过自己，立刻收拾行囊出发到西班牙南部，把所有教条和音乐奖通通丢到一旁，也带来这张享乐至上、音乐无国界的全新专辑。忽然间，The Ting Tings的灵感和冲动又回来了，旋律、节奏和歌词自然而然地倾泄而出，创作的压力消失，他们重拾单纯的喜悦和丰沛的创作能量。
The Ting Tings希望这张专辑能带来不一样的冲击，他们尽情体验创作的自由，在音乐的国度里没有疆界，也成为这张全新专辑名称《Sounds From Nowheresville》的原由。The Ting Tings没有因首张专辑的成功而绑手绑脚，他们非常放松地贴近内心脉动，交出第二张漂亮成绩单，从〈Hang It Up〉、
〈Give It Back〉、〈Guggenheim〉到〈Day to Day〉，The Ting Tings总是能带来崭新又悦耳的听觉视野，让你从耳朵到身体都在跳跃。享乐豪华版独家收录Calvin Harris混音版单曲〈Hands〉、首支单曲〈Hang It Up〉全新4首独占混音、从未曝光作〈Ain't Got Shit〉等9首国际豪华版加收曲目。

Sounds from Nowheresville is the second album to be released by The Ting Tings on 27 February 2012 in the UK, and in early March in the United States. The band has released two songs from the album, "Silence" and "Hang It Up". Their 2010 single "Hands" was originally reported not to appear on the album, however the duo confirmed on Twitter that it will appear on the deluxe edition of the album. The band revealed that they had scrapped a whole album before moving to Spain to record their new album.
The band started a project called "Show Us Yours", which gave artists and graphic designers the chance to create art and videos to show the band. One piece of art by artist Milan Abad showed the both Katie White and Jules de Martino are skeletons. The piece caught the band's attention and later became the album artwork. White has said that stated that other entries will be placed in the album insert.
The video for "Hang It Up" was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel on 18 October 2011. It was the first song they had released since "Hands" in October 2010.
The video for the Bag Raiders remix of "Silence" was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel on 21 November 2011.
