Leæther Strip is a Danish musical project founded on 13 January 1988 by Claus Larsen. Its influence has been most felt in the electronic body musicand electro-industrial[2] genres. Leæther Strip was one of the earliest and most prominent acts on Germany's now defunct Zoth Ommogrecord label. For distribution outside of Europe, the music has been licensed to the U.S. labels Cleopatra Recordsand 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 3 June 2011 Larsen announced his split from Alfa Matrix in order to self-release future material.[3]
