Leæther Strip is the solo project of Danish electronic musician Claus Larsen, whose influence has been pivotal in the evolution of the industrial and EBM (Electronic Body Music) scenes. Debuting in 1989 with the release of "Japanese Bodies," Leæther Strip quickly garnered attention with its aggressive beats, layered synthesizers, and dark, often politically charged lyrical content. The project stood apart for its ability to unite the raw energy of punk with the danceable structures of synthesizer-based music.

Over the years, Larsen's work as Leæther Strip has been characterized by a relentless output of albums and EPs that explored thematic depths ranging from personal struggles to socio-political commentary. His music continually evolved, embracing both harsh industrial sounds and melodic elements. Recent releases like "From Beyond" and "These Broken Things" exemplify Larsen's talent for reinvention, mixing cutting-edge electronic sounds with his signature raw vocal style. The project also frequently pays homage to other artists through covers and remixes, as seen with their rendition of "Du Hast" and the remixes for "Orphee" and "General Principle." With "Æppreciation V," Leæther Strip continues the tradition of revisiting and reinterpreting influential tracks that have shaped the broader scope of electronic and industrial music. Through his decades-spanning career, Claus Larsen has cemented Leæther Strip's status as an enduring and innovative force in the global industrial music scene.
