Deftones have released the latest track from their upcoming White Pony remix album, Black Stallion: The Cure frontman Robert Smith’s own take on their song Teenager.
Speaking to NME about the release, Deftones frontman Chino Moreno said: “It’s amazing to hear Robert rework one of our songs and sneak his voice in there. If you’d have told me that when I was 15-years-old, I would have lost my fucking mind and not believed a word you were saying. It was a dream.”

Black Stallion arrives as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Deftones’ seminal third album White Pony. Across the album will be reimagined takes on tracks by the likes of Tourist, Squarepusher and DJ Shadow.
