Leæther Strip is a
Danish musical project founded on January 13, 1988 by Claus Larsen. Its influence has been most felt in the
electronic body music and
electro-industrial genres. Leæther Strip was one of the earliest and most prominent acts on Germany's now defunct
Zoth Ommog record label. For distribution outside of
Europe, the music has been licensed to the U.S. labels
Cleopatra Records and
Metropolis Records. After the demise of Zoth Ommog in 1999, Larsen signed to
Bloodline Records, which only released a
single before also going out of business. In 2005 Leæther Strip signed with the Belgian based label
Alfa Matrix. On June 3, 2011, Larsen announced his split from Alfa Matrix in order to self release future material.
