The album is a collection of memories filtered through a hazy, romantic, and melancholic spirit, encapsulating the best of the duo’s work over the past two years. Juno Francis is a project born from two individuals searching for a creative partnership in the cultural hub of Berlin. Their sound is defined by influences from the early '80s synth era and '60s psychedelic pop, all wrapped in a modern setting. All songwriting, recording, and mixing were done in-house at their studio, utilizing analog synthesizers and drum machines to create a luxurious, warm sound. Since the project's inception in 2018, the duo has performed across Europe, and brands like Vogue, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Victoria’s Secret have featured their music in advertisements. Juno Francis draws inspiration from a wide spectrum of influences, from '60s icons like Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra to early '80s Italo Disco, as well as modern Nordic sounds like Susanne Sundfør and The Knife. The result is a shimmering package of nostalgia, aiming to transport the listener to an era that only existed in dreams. Some tracks were already previewed, including: All I Need, a sensual pop song, Fading Memories, the defining track of the album, evoking a collection of memories since Juno Francis's creation and My Armageddon – a psychedelic disco track that paints the perfect storm of mental breakdowns and complete dissociation.
