Led Er Est was formed in early 2007 by SAMUEL KKLOVENHOOF and SHAWN NOEQ. Drawing from the dire textures of first-wave industrial music, the craftsmanship and ambience of postpunk and coldwave, and the primal kineticism of old school house and techno, the project was initially more of an outlet for song fragments and delirious baubles. As their sound took a more structured turn towards the end of 2007, Owen Stokes was recruited.
Led er est strives towards that which is otherworldy and alien(ating), but also immediate and infectious. Their live performance is raw and unhinged, at times leaning towards the improvisatory, but ultimately rooted in traditional songcraft.
