The band consists of the members:
Kasper Eistrup (vocals & guitar)
Mads Tunebjerg (bass)
Asger Techau (drums)
Henrik Lindstrand (keyboards & guitar).
Their earlier albums were musically in the vein of Primus and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but with their third full length album their style changed dramatically to be influenced by Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, a style often characterised by newcomers as in the same veins as Coldplay, however Kashmir has in Kasper Eistrup, an original text writer and singer, who can hardly be summarized as anything close to Chris Martin.
To this date, the band have released seven full length albums. Their latest, E.A.R. (2013). With the release of NBP, the band yet again changed direction musically to be inspired by artists such as Sonic Youth and other noise rockers.
It should be noted that there also was a Swiss band with the same name which was active between 1979 and 1982. Consisting of keyboarder Patrice Guenat and singer Henry Dubelly, they produced two albums that range between synthesizer pop and neo-progressive genres.
Another danish band in the 70s was also called Kashmir or more correctly "Jørgen Thomsen & Kashmir", but due to Spotify (Kashmir, Jørgen Thomsen tag) they will scrobble as Kashmir, despite being a backing band at least on the 1972 record they recorded:
Jørgen Thomsen was backed by prominent musicains in "Kashmir": Nils Tuxen (Savage Rose, Flemming Hansen (bass), Ken Gudman at drums and Carl Åge Isaksen on piano.
Kashmir - The Band (Urdu: کشمیر ـ دی بینڈ) is an alternative rock band from Karachi, Pakistan. It is the winning band of Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 2 in 2017. The band consist of Bilal Ali (vocalist), Vais Khan (lead guitarist), Usman Siddiqui (bass guitarist), Shane J. Anthoney (drummer), Zair Zaki (rhythm guitarist), and Ali Raza (keyboardist).

Leather Crane
Kashmir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can share a good occasion.
You can talk about the groovy things you find in our relation.
But one thing I know that you sure couldn't sure couldn't do was to talk about your sexual needs.
I could drag you to a gallows sleeping.
Put the loose around your neck.
I could hang you out the window, whipping you 'till I made you cry and beg.
Or to drink my hot and physical milk.
Let's try my new instrument.
How can I ask you to join my game.
Hang me in my leathercrane.
How can I ask you to join my game.
Hang me in my leathercrane.
"Now I would like to introduce you to some of the good old ultraviolencepsychoreggae, join us."
Don't be afraid of my lust.
Don't fear the strength of my musts.
Let your rosy lips shiver and your pale hands shake.
Let me float your inner river, swim your deep dark lake.
I will drown you slow and softly in the liquid of your mind.
You will know that pain is pleasure, satisfaction you will find.
How can I ask you to join my game.
Hang me in my leather crane.
How can I ask you to join my game.
Hang me in my leather crane.
I could really make you suffer, dip you in the icy water.
Feed you up with more suggestions 'till you pushed me off the border.
No matter how I tried, how I tried, just to set you free, I'm sure that you will never be.
How can I ask you to join my game.
Hang me in my leather crane.
How can I ask you to join my game.
Hang me in my leather crane.
The lyrics of Leather Crane by Kashmir are intentionally provocative and unsettling. The song is about power dynamics within a relationship and the darker aspects of sexuality. The first verse sets the tone, with the singer stating that while their partner can do all the "normal" things associated with a relationship, they cannot admit to their sexual desires. This sets up the rest of the song as a power struggle between the two individuals, with the singer trying to push their partner to admit and explore their kinks.
The rest of the song is filled with violent, sexual imagery. The Leather Crane itself is a type of bondage device, with the singer asking their partner to "Hang me" in it. The chorus repeats the question of how they can convince their partner to join in their game, and the verses continue to escalate with threats of physical harm and sexual coercion. The line "Let your rosy lips shiver and your pale hands shake" is particularly unsettling, as it positions the partner as vulnerable and afraid.
Overall, Leather Crane is a disturbing exploration of the darker side of sexuality and the power dynamics present in relationships. The song is intentionally uncomfortable and meant to provoke a reaction from the listener.

To punish you, I could drag you to a noose
Put the loose around your neck.
I will tie the noose around your neck
I could hang you out the window, whipping you 'till I made you cry and beg.
I can torture you viciously until I receive a confession from you

You will understand that the line between pain and pleasure is blurred, and you will find satisfaction
I could really make you suffer, dip you in the icy water.
I could give you intense pain, submerge you in freezing water
Feed you up with more suggestions 'till you pushed me off the border.
Offer you more ideas until you provoke me beyond my limit
No matter how I tried, how I tried, just to set you free, I'm sure that you will never be.
Even if I try to grant you freedom, I am confident that you will never attain it
How can I ask you to join my game.
How can I request your participation in my plan
Hang me in my leather crane.
Bind me to my machinery
