The legendary Claus Larsen, the mastermind behind the iconic industrial project Leaether Strip, has just dropped a potent and long-shelved cover of Cabaret Voltaire’s seminal track, “Thank You America”! This electrifying rendition is now available for your listening pleasure, directly from the source.

In a candid message to fans, Claus explained the track’s delayed release: “Dear Friends! I recorded this Cabaret Voltaire cover a few years ago, but ‘some’ label people thought it would be a bad idea to release. Oh well, you all know I love America and playing there and music that isn´t listened to is nonexistent, and we can´t have that. Thank you Cabaret Voltaire for making me become a better songwriter! If you are offended, just don´t listen, it’s very easy 🙂 Thank You America! Love Claus.” This personal note underscores Claus’s passion for both the original track and his connection with his American fanbase.

Leaether Strip’s take on Cabaret Voltaire’s “Thank You America” promises to be a powerful fusion of classic industrial grit and Claus Larsen’s signature sonic intensity. Known for his raw vocals, hard-hitting beats, and often politically charged lyrics, Leaether Strip is likely to inject this cover with a contemporary edge while honoring the groundbreaking spirit of the original. Cabaret Voltaire, pioneers of industrial and electronic music, released “Thank You America” in 1981, a track known for its stark soundscapes and critical commentary. Leaether Strip revisiting this influential piece is a significant nod to the genre’s roots.

For longtime fans of both Leaether Strip and Cabaret Voltaire, this release is a must-hear. It’s a unique opportunity to witness a legendary industrial artist paying homage to another pivotal force in electronic music history. Claus’s personal investment in the track and his dedication to his audience make this release all the more compelling.
