Leæther Strip is a Danish musical project whose influence has been most felt in the Electronic body music, Industrial music, and Gothic music genres. It was one of the earliest and most prominent acts on Germany’s now defunct Zoth Ommog record label, and has also released music on the American Cleopatra Records and Metropolis Records labels, as well as Germany’s Bloodline Records. Leæther Strip is currently signed with the Alfa Matrix label.

According to founder Claus Larsen, Leæther Strip is, and will always be, only him. Larsen was born on November 13th 1967 in Aalborg, Denmark. He first released music under the name of Leæther Strip in 1989, while the inception of the band occurred during Christmas 1988. However, his mid-90’s release G.A.W.M.U.S. includes two early demos, from 1982 and 1984 respectively, with the latter forming the unknown beginning of the band according to an interview conducted with Claus Larsen.
