Krause is the project of Dutch artist Susanne Clermonts, who emerged in the mid-2000s as a formidable force in the electroclash and electropop scenes. Her sound identity is uniquely bolstered by her collaboration with the drum and bass trio Noisia, whose engineering expertise provides a heavy, industrial-leaning rhythmic foundation that distinguishes her from more lightweight synth-pop contemporaries.
Clermonts' background in punk rock informs her vocal delivery and lyrical themes, which often lean into satire, frustration, and raw energy. Her career arc saw her transition from the DIY aesthetic of 'I Lost My Tampon' to the more sophisticated, high-impact production of 'No Guts, No Glory'. Culturally, she occupies a space between the Dutch underground and the international electroclash movement of the 2000s, drawing conceptual inspiration from Michel Houellebecq's literature. Critical consensus highlights her ability to blend catchy, accessible melodies with aggressive, experimental electronic textures, making her a key figure for listeners who appreciate the intersection of dance music and punk attitude.
