MP3DB.pro - Leæther Strip - Teenage Demos (2013)

Dark Entries is celebrating its 50th release with Leaether Strip
"Teenage Demos". Leaether Strip is the solo-project of Danish
electronic industrial artist Claus Larsen. Discovered by the
German techno artist and producer Talla 2XLC, Leaether Strip
quickly built a buzz as one of the most exciting emerging acts in
Europe in the early 90's.
"Teenage Demos" is a collection of Claus Larsen's earliest
recordings. Nine demo songs recorded between 1982 and 1986 never
before released on vinyl. Influenced by Fad Gadget, Depeche Mode
and Jean Michel Jarre, Claus began creating synth-pop melodies at
age 14. Though the melodies were catchy and upbeat they had a
hidden melancholy because Claus knew that he was different than
others. "Dreaming" was his first attempt to "come out" to himself
as a queer kid. Lyrically the songs reflected what was going on
in his head: youth, hope and dreams. Claus used a simple set up:
Moog Prodigy, Yamaha drum machine, delay pedal and spring reverb.
He would record the bass and drums on a double cassette recorder,
without midi, sequencers or preset sounds. By 1985, Claus
composed instrumental songs as the final three tracks on this
album illustrate.
Each song has been carefully remastered from the original masters
for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The
vinyl comes housed in a glossy jacket with original photograph of
a 15-year old Claus as well as an insert with lyrics, photos and
an interview. "Teenage Demos" is a sneak peak into the world of
early, emotionally intense foundations of Leaether Strip.
