Leather Strip
Real Name:
Claus Larsen
Profile:
Leaether Strip is the work of Danish electronic dance artist Claus Larsen. Discovered by the German techno artist and producer Talla 2XLC (Bigod 20), Leaether Strip quickly built a buzz as one of the most exciting young acts in Europe in the early 90's. His debut release in 1990, entitled The Pleasure of Penetration, instantly established itself as a classic. By the time of Leaether Strip's third release, Solitary Confinement, the act was popular enough to also be released in the United States. Along with the subsequent CD, Underneath the Laughter, Solitary Confinement propelled Leaether Strip to the top in sales in both the European and American electro scene. Both releases personified the powerful angst seen in other electro acts such as Nine Inch Nails and Front 242, but with a deeper message and meaning in both words and music.

Reviews & Discussion
definitely one of my favourite industrial musical acts. think of Claus Larsen as the Trent Reznor of the European scene. dark, hateful, homicidal, love-plagued music, but with more substance and texture, and poetic lyrics. i recommend Legacy of Hate & Lust, Solitary Confinement, The Rebirth of Agony as a good representative starting point.
