Harder Than It Should Be: The Lost Album (2007)

Nearly two decades after it was recorded across Glasgow, Fife and beyond, this mythologised debut from underground electro-pop collective Juno! finally surfaces. A genre-blurring statement born from bedrooms and late-night studio sessions, the album fuses live drums, analogue synths, samples, and dense percussion into something critics struggled to pin down - baggy grooves meet electro-pop meets rave culture.

Originally designed as an extension of the band's unpredictable live shows, Harder Than It Should Be captures a rotating cast of collaborators and a core four-piece that expanded into an eight-member spectacle. Tracks like Atom Bomb City, Cut It Loose and the cult single These Boys Are Athletes (featuring Bis vocalist Manda Rin) earned radio play and industry buzz - yet the album itself was never formally released.

Recovered from early recordings and demos, this reconstruction reflects the original intent: a high-energy journey mirroring the band's live intensity. A document of a moment when MySpace buzz, indie discos and electro experimentation collided in small venues and word-of-mouth scenes.

Finally the album is released on vinyl via independent label Last Night From Glasgow.
