Leaether Strip returns with a double-faceted carton box release including the "Dark Passages" motion soundtrack disc plus the new special studio album "Seasons Change - I Don't". After having paid homage to one of his mentors (John Carpenter) on his 'Haelloween' EP, Claus Larsen now goes one level further by creating the complete soundtrack for the "Dark Passages" movie directed by Cesar Cruz.
"Dark Passages" CD features ...
"Dark Passages" CD features the complete versions of the songs to be used in the movie (including a bunch of vocal songs) and transports you into the film's sombre and dense atmosphere. Reaching hypes on the oppressive "Everything Dies", we hope that this poignant soundtrack is the first in a series of future collaborations between both artists, challenging and taking them into other sides of their strong respective personalities. Companion album to "Dark Passages", comes the titled "Seasons Change - I Don't" 14-track album presenting new songs recorded just after the soundtrack. From the big beat of "Black Magic Man" through the dramatic feel of the depressive "Dead Swan", from the sexy and clubby groove of "Bondage is not a Crime" to the tearful intimacy of the dark elektro title song that are all hit moments for this Leaether Strip tour de force. Fans will also be thrilled by the extended versions of the soundtrack songs "Dark Passages" and "Everything Dies" which both have club hit potential, as well as of the new versions of the unavoidable "My Shadow is your home" and "Voluntary Confinement". Last but not least, two special collaborations with Mortiis and Ehron Vonallen put the cherry on the cake. Seasons change... Leaether Strip does NOT!
