Le\u00e6ther Strip mastermind Claus Larsen and The Cure go back a long way. A fan since the earliest days, Larsen was among the first acts to contribute to the 1997 tribute album 100 Tears (still available from Cleopatra Records on CD and vinyl! “I’ve been a life long fan ever since their first single ‘Killing An Arab,” released in my teens, back when I was more into Punk and before I bought my first synth. Since then, no matter what they did and do, I love it, even the very poppy stuff. Robert Smith’s words have also always inspired me. He’s a master at creating inner pictures in my head. Not many lyrics have that effect on me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 7, 2025, Le\u00e6ther Strip returns to Robert Smith and co with his own impeccable and hard-hitting full-length tribute to the band\u2019s seminal 1982 album Pornography, reinventing all eight of the goth classic\u2019s dense and dramatically dark tracks – plus two special bonus Cure covers for the CD and digital formats! The first single from the album, \u201cOne Hundred Years,\u201d is also the collection\u2019s opening track – as it was on Pornography itself – and, like the Cure\u2019s original, it firmly sets out the parameters which guided Le\u00e6ther Strip through the remainder of the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
