*2025 stock. 20 copies limited edition* Anti Itch Cream, the boundary-pushing solo project of noisecore icon Kae Takahashi, releases Silent Majority, a bold new album out now on Frei zum Abriss Kollektiv. This release marks a striking evolution in Takahashi’s musical journey, blending her signature abrasive energy with moments of melodic clarity and introspection.
Following years of relentless experimentation in projects like Sete Star Sept and Bizzy Killer, Anti Itch Cream stands as Takahashi’s personal laboratory for sonic exploration. On Silent Majority, listeners are treated to a dynamic spectrum—from the raw, chaotic noise that has defined her career, to surprising passages of clean singing and contemplative melody. Tracks such as “Arpeggio And A Space A Lien” and “Stumbling” bookend the album with a newfound vocal openness, while the body of the record delivers the unbridled energy and relentless noise that fans have come to expect.
“With Anti Itch Cream, I can express what I want to create with my own sense of freedom,” says Takahashi. “My ideal sound is simple—the chord progression on the guitar is easy, and it’s important that it’s not perfect.” This philosophy shines through on Silent Majority, where Takahashi’s command of drum machines and layered instrumentation creates a world both jarring and hypnotic.
