2nd solo album by Lars Hug (his last under this moniker) is his perhaps finest solo release with its fine combo of pop / rock and art pop. Most tracks are written either solely by Hug or in a collaboration with Voss and Torp (tracks #4, #7, and #8) from Kliché, as three of the tracks apparently was written for a never realised third album by Kliché. Apart from that, the album also feature Finn Verwohlt and Hilmer Hassig on guitars, both of which contributed on Hug's debut album.
Kysser himlen farvel is a rather big surprise as his solo debut was anything but commercial, and it's Hug's major breakthrough as a solo artist on the national scene.
After the release Hug was forced, via legal charges, to change his artist name to Lars H.U.G., as the name Hug by court of law was declared an old protected family name.
