"Neuester und gleichzeitig jüngster Neuzugang auf Rune Grammofon. Gitarrero Anders Hana feierte seinen 23. Geburtstag einen Tag, bevor es für MoHa! im August 2005 ins Athletic Sound Studio ging, um mit seinem langjährigen Freund und Partner-in-Crime Morten Olsen (24) zum ersten Mal als bloßes Duo "Raus Aus Stavanger" aufzunehmen. Anders und Morten musizieren schon seit acht Jahren in immer anderen Konstellationen zusammen und haben bereits mit dem amerikanischen Saxophonisten Andrew D'Angelo als MORTHANA, mit Frode Gjerstad und Kjetil Brandsdal als ULTRALYD und mit dem INGEBRIGT FLATEN QUINTET gespielt. Morten ist Mitglied der THOMAS DYBDAHL BAND und hat unter anderem Fred Frith, Axel Dörner, Arve Henriksen, Dr. Didi Bruckmayr, Garth Knox, Frank Gratkowsky, Michael Moore und den verstorbenen Steve Lacy begleitet."

"MoHa! is the latest Rune Grammofon signing and, after a series of highly-sought after CD-Rs, this is the Norwegian duo's first proper full-length release. Comprised of guitarist Anders Hana and percussionist Morten Olsen, this is the absolute in improv/guitar/electronics violence. Hana and Olsen have played together since 1999, in duo or in collaboration with Andrew D'Angelo/Morthana, Ultralyd, Frode Gjerstad Trio, Phô, John Hegre, Ingebrigt H. Flaten, Maja Ratkje, Pål Jackman and Per Zanussi. In addition, they are members of the N-Collective, and apart have participated in musical acts such as Noxagt, Thomas Dybdahl & TGOS, Jaga Jazzist, M/N/O/G and Office-R(6). Both have played with greats such as Paal Nilssen-Love, Steve Lacy, Axel Dörner, Mats Gustafsson, Lasse Marhaug, Fred Frith, Trevor Dunn and Arve Henriksen. Raus Aus Stavanger displays the best of the duo's most recent output, with noise-based rock textures, good old cheap contact microphones, screeing guitar and ear-battering, processed drums. This release was recorded in analogue heaven Athletic Sound, home of great sounding releases from Supersilent and Scorch Trio. And if pushed to find references, it's probably these two acts MoHa! have most in common with. Everything was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs, showing two young musicians playing at a very high level of control, communication and creative power." [press release]
