2006 marks the return of LEAETHER STRIP side-project KLUTAE, through which the Danish master of Electro / Industrial expresses his most extravagant torments and fantasies. 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 Larsen's chameleon vocals. In fact, KLUTAE traditionally stands for a more punkish 'in your face attitude' with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and angst-ridden 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...KLUTAE is loud and fun - it’s dense aggro-electro from the tortured soul of Claus Larsen’s bastard alter ego.
