Биография

Krause, born Susanne Clermonts, is a Dutch songwriter/performer in the electronic music scene. After years of playing in punkrock bands, she changes course in 2006 and trades her guitars for analog synthesizers. She finds her artist name in Michel Houellebecq’s novel ‘Elementary Particles’; a new successful project is born. From 2006 til 2008 Krause performs as a one-woman electro act. In 2009 a live drummer and synth player come to join the live shows. In 2008 Krause signs with Sony Music and pulls in Dutch drum’n’bass producer trio Noisia, with whom she produces her debut album ‘No Guts, No Glory’ which is being released in October 2009. ‘No Guts, No Glory’ is inspired by 80’s synthpop, but also Krause’s punkrock background emerges in the music by raging guitars and frantic vocals. In March 2013 Krause releases her second album ‘Tenderfoot’. On this album she collaborates with several talented Dutch producers, such as Mason, Sjam Sjamsoedin (Nobody Beats The Drum), Mike Luck (Jordi van Achthoven, Tinlicker), Dem Slackers and Fellow. As a result of working with different producers, ‘Tenderfoot’ has become an album which features influences from a variety of genres in electronic music. In late 2019 Krause's frantic song 'I Want A Pony', the track is featured in a commercial campaign for an energy drink called Mad Pony including a dance challenge on TikTok. February 2020 Krause releases 'Drink', a collaboration with Mike Luck, and starts working on new material.
