I want to stay in." is a reference to the same line spoken in the David Bowie song "Modern Love". == History == Speculation about the band's second album began in October 2009, when details were released to the public about the duo writing their next album in Paris, but then moving to an old German Jazz Club to record it. The reason being was that the band wanted a new place to test out what sounded good and what did not: "We did the first album by throwing house parties. We'd try them out on our drunk friends and if they danced we'd go ‘Great, let's carry on!’ We're gonna do the same in Berlin – that's why we've got the jazz club – so we can just stick a big plastic bag over the studio so it doesn't get beer on and experiment on some crazy Berliners." In January 2010, two track titles from the album were revealed, "Help" & "Hands". In July 2010, News of the duo's upcoming album & single had spread to various blog sites after their (personal website ) put up a notice about how their website was due for refit to match their new single, there was also news on the album which was said to be nearly finished.
