Leaether Strip - Klute - Klutae - Hit-n-run
Formerly Klute…2005 was highlighted by the detonating and successful come-back of Claus
Larsen with his LEAETHER STRIP main band project, now we are please to
announce that 2006 will mark the return of his side-project KLUTAE, through
which the Danish master of electro/industrial expresses his most extravagant
torments and fantasies. Claus Larsen launched this solo-project in the early
90’s under the name KLUTE, but changed its spelling to KLUTAE in order to
avoid any further confusion with a totally unrelated drum n' bass project.
KLUTAE’s first releases showcased a rather heavy and turbo-driven
guitar-oriented sound which brought him comparisons to metal-industrial acts
like FEAR FACTORY, BILE and SWAMP TERRORISTS, yet Claus Larsen has always
considered this project as his most eclectic and unpredictable outlet. So it
was no major surprise seeing its hardest walls of synthesised guitar noise
eventually giving way to mid-tempo pounding tracks powered by the LEAETHER
STRIP trademark EBM bass-lines and Claus’ chameleon vocals. In fact, KLUTAE
traditionally stands for a more punkish “in ya face attitude” with
tongue-in-cheek lyrics and “angst-til-ya-bust” old-school elektro
arrangements. And it’s with that very characteristic sense of humour that
Claus Larsen invites us now on another extravaganza journey through desert
storms, biker orgies, hell fires, death valley saloons and other sexy
parties with fat faggots in leather jackets.
KLUTAE is loud and fun, and will musically certainly not deceive the
LEAETHER STRIP fanbase, while keeping its appeal to followers of the
MINISTRY gang for its aggressive attitude. It’s dense aggro-electro from the
tortured soul of Claus Larsen’s bastard alter ego.
