In 1988, young angry Danish teenager Claus Larsen would ignite an
electro/industrial firework that is still exploding high and loud 20 years later
and across the whole world… The brutal LEAETHER STRIP machine really knows no
“stop” button and has again switched back to “attack mode” loaded with the brand
new double-CD “Civil Disobedience”. A new album full of hate, venom and
frustration, but also a new album so true, so direct and so deep that it can be
heard as a forceful call through a megaphone for revolution, action and
reaction.
Claus Larsen’s rise to fame-cult status is 100% the fruit of his uncompromising
artistic attitude, which has always brought him where his dark soul would carry
him, without ever conceding ground to compromise or any trend. Album after
album, Danish EBM legend LEAETHER STRIP has constantly fueled the underground
dancefloors and he will set the fire again in 2008 with monster power tracks
like the instant hit “When Blood Runs Dark”, the solid “Jagtvej 69”, the punkish
“Pissing On My Territory”, “The Cradle of Death” or yet “Going Nowhere”. Like he
enjoys singing it, Claus Larsen also “wears black on the inside” and he this
time jumps onto the street to fight the system and question the leadership. To
mark these 20 years in dark blood, Claus Larsen also seized this unique
anniversary opportunity to write the conceptual “one-nine-eight-two” CD, a
collection of forbidden art that Claus Larsen devoted to the good old years of
moogs and 808s… An electronic tribute to the magic year 1982, when he bought his
first synthesizer, his beloved Moog Prodigy that radically scrambled his life
for the many decades to follow, and would transform a frustrated revolted
teenager hiding his homosexuality into a happy and obsessed daydreamer with a
noir soul carried away by his flood of creativity and composing frenzy. The
young man had found a way expressing himself… This beautiful album of pure
eighties synth lines and fat bass sounds is exclusively available as bonus album
in the deluxe carton box edition of the “Civil Disobedience” album. An
impressive 3CD package revealing where LEAETHER STRIP comes from and where it
stands today anno 2008: amongst the leaders of underground dark industrial /
electronic music. Happy Birthday LEAETHER STRIP. Released on Alfa Matrix and
available April 11, 2008.
