\u00a0Seven years ago, Le\u00e6ther Strip frontman, founder and mastermind Claus Larsen began an ambitious project, paying homage to the varied musical influences that have inspired him over the years, including numerous artists that exist far outside the world of industrial electronic music, and filtering their songs through the dark and foreboding lens that is Le\u00e6ther Strip. The result has been an incredible series of studio albums –\u00a0\u00c6ppreciation<\/em>\u00a0(2014),\u00a0\u00c6ppreciation II<\/em>\u00a0(2017),\u00a0\u00c6ppreciation III – Deutsche W\u00e6lle<\/em>\u00a0(2018),\u00a0\u00c6ppreciation IV<\/em>\u00a0(2020) – that have made fans on both sides of the pond stand up and take notice. Each new volume of the series seemed to offer a surprising twist, whether it be the danceable cover of PJ Harvey\u2019s \u201cDown By The Water\u201d that kicked off the first volume, or the brilliant cover of Dead Or Alive\u2019s \u201cYou Spin Me Round (Like A Record)\u201d from volume two, or the fantastically brutal cover of Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s \u201cArmy Of Me\u201d from volume four.\u00a0

Now comes\u00a0\u00c6ppreciation V<\/em>, the newest installment in the series, which is being released October 22. And the first single is being made available to stream on all platforms today, a thoroughly captivating remake of a relatively obscure song by British new wave hitmakers Duran Duran. \u201cThe Chauffeur,\u201d was originally released by Duran Duran as the final track on their breakthrough sophomore album Rio, where it languished in the shadows of the album\u2019s massive singles including \u201cHungry Like The Wolf,\u201d \u201cSave A Prayer\u201d and the title track. But the dark vibe of the track got picked up on by gothic-industrial DJs who would frequently spin the track alongside songs by Nine Inch Nails, Ministry and, of course, Le\u00e6ther Strip. Larsen steps in to further twist the songs lilting keyboards into an eerie, ominous, industrial strength groove.
