TNTT cover NIN's "Closer" - released 15th November
Freshly acronymed TNTT (formerly Tecnoctitlan) are back with new single "Closer" and in the process justifying music blog EQ's epithet for the pair as "sexy bitches".
The Nine Inch Nails 1994 classic Closer has been given the TNTT treatment, with female lead vocals and a new electro quality added.

The predatory nature of Closer when delivered by Milena's vocals is preserved with animalistic style and yet the result manifests into a more voluptuous rendition of the Nine Inch Nails track.
TNTT have brought Closer into 2010, converting its industrial rock to electronica and a new rhythmic expression of carnal desire.
Watch video teaser:
Maintaining Closer's insistent beat TNTT close the track by integrating in the lyrics from George Michael's 1992 single Too Funky.
Possibly the first time a former member of Wham! has inadvertently collaborated with Trent Reznor but to TNTT member Ariel the choice was obvious, "For me they are both similar artists...obsessed with sex (as are TNTT! HA!) and that's why I made the connection."
A twist in the tail makes this cover a unique post-modern take on gender politics, sexual identity and pop culture.
Closer is out 15th November, 2010.
