What the label says:

Anders Hana: guitar, keyboard, drummachine Morten J. Olsen: drums, supercollider3. Hot on the heels of their recent 7” here is the third long player from our favourite noise spastics. The Wire called the single an extremist hybrid between free improv, gutter electronics and darkwave scuzz and they have elsewhere simply been proclaimed the future of Norwegian rock. We stand by our suggestion that they now appear slightly more structured in their music making, but don´t let that lead you into thinking they have gone soft or lost any of their unhinged fire and creative spark. Out of Norway's super-fertile impro scene, MoHa! have boldly been leading the way with a sound that encompasses the best of rock, free jazz and electronic music. Despite the enormity and broad spectrum of sounds that constitute their unique style, it is the work of just two talented young men, Anders Hana (25) on guitar, obsolete electronics, a pallete of effects pedals and now also a synth, and Morten J. Olsen (26) on drums, triggering a multitude of noises from each skin and cymbal using custom built software. Having played together in various projects for around 10 years, they have developed a high level of control and understanding in their musical communication. As anyone who has seen them live during one of many tours in Europe and USA can testify, they compliment and confront each other with sharp and mechanical movements on one hand, free flowing and loose gestures on the other.  Hana is also a member of Noxagt, and both are members of Ultralyd and legendary Norwegian sax player Frode Gjerstad´s excellent free jazz ensemble Circulatione Totale Orchestra. Vinyl edition with extra thick sleeve (350g) limited to 500 only.

Tracks : it burns twice, karibcore, sopp på kugen, prog-o-rama, aids of space, too smart enough to think, the shitman, oh my god it's rave, # outro
