About East West Blast Test
East West Blast Test are Mr. Witte (East Coast) on drums and Mr. Dodge (West Coast) on everything else. With the album assembled by mailed tapes, each coast also gets a handful of guests in its corner: Witte brings along Municipal Waste's Tony Foresta, Dim Mak's Brandon Thomas and Burnt by the Sun/Human Remains bassist Ted Patterson; Dodge enlists his wife Lydia and Faith No More guitarist-for-five-minutes Dean Menta. Mostly instrumental, Popular Music for Unpopular People rarely sounds much like either Witte's or Dodge's former jobs and lets them get as self-indulgent as they can in 32 minutes and 23 tracks. With the guest musicians and studio construction, East West Blast Test aren't just another bass/drums duo. "Lithe" visits lounge-funk with Lydia Parewski's vocal mewing, "Fabulous Slurry" melds fast-forward grind with backmasked vocals, and "Soft Robotics" hangs out with Kraftwerk and videogamecore.
